Alayna ate all of her whole wheat bagel and seconds on peaches at breakfast.  At lunch she ate a bite of her salad with ranch dressing and all of her corn, her ham and her macaroni and cheese. 

I am beginning to wonder if Alayna isn't allergic to our laundry detergent.  After she came she wanted to cuddle with me and had her face in my shoulder for part of that time, cuddling.  With just a few minutes I noticed it getting red. One of the reasons I say that is that her face didn't look that broke out to me when she came this morning., but within half an hour it was bright red and she was scratching it like it was really bothering her.   I just thought I should mention it.  I have also noticed that her face is almost always worse after naps, too, which would be from laying on bedding washed in our detergent. 

Several of the girls were playing with the food items quite congenially together for some time this morning.  It was primarily my three "big" girls, but Jadey and Joslyn moved in and out also.  

Emily has an ear infection and mom came by after breakfast to put her prescription drops in her ears.  All of the kiddos just stood and watched the process with great intrigue. 

To the left is a picture of what we see frequently with Alayna -- the interaction with either Peyton or Thomas or both.  It is always really cute.  Today they also were "helping" with Riley.  All three of my kiddos wanted to help bring Riley toys, so this (below) is what we ended up with.  I would have stopped it, but Riley seemed to like all of the attention (if not all of the toys, so I just let it go!  : )
