4/10/12

Alayna ate all of her waffle and about half of her hashbrowns at breakfast.  At lunch she ate all of her brown rice and her shrimp and a couple bites of both colored peppers and orange slices.  

Alayna continued to use her words great with the kiddos.  Several times Thomas or Peyton tried to take one of the toys she was playing with and she was very patient with them, pointing to another toy of the same kind and telling them, "There's another one", or even just waiting until they were done with it and then getting it back. 

Alayna told me potty twice so far today, but also pooped in her diaper. 

Alayna and Jadey don't get along very well most of the time.  Jadey likes to do what we call "stirring the pot" at times, where she just kind of walks around saying or doing little things that don't get her into trouble necessarily, but do irritate the other kiddos at least slightly.  Today Alayna was playing with one of the dolls and blankets, minding her own business.  Jadey walked passed her, but on the way by, grabbed the edge of the blanket Alayna was holding her baby in and kept pulling on it on the way by.  That pushed Alayna's button and she immediately went after her with her mouth open and ready to attack.  I had been observing the situation and was already on my way to intervene and stop Jadey, so I stopped the attack first, then Jadey.  

Thomas loves to imitate what he sees other kiddos doing and he often chooses Alayna for some reason (probably because he recognizes that she likes him and is often more tolerant that the other "big" kiddos).  Today, specifically, Alayna had a plate with some pretend pizza on it and she was "cutting" it with one of the play pizza cutters.  She was really working at it and Thomas watched for a little then went and found himself a plate, slice of pizza and cutter to copy what she was doing.  : )
