Alayna ate all of her prunes and oatmeal at breakfast today.  At lunch she ate all of her mandarin oranges and her hashbrown casserole and a bite of biscuit. 

I have decided that Fridays have to be Alayna's favorite days.  As soon as she sees Aaron, she is all smiles and started to try to make him laugh.  For some reason their temperaments and personalities really click.  Not only does he laugh at her, which she loves, but he also just follows her around and likes being with her. 

Thomas managed to get himself "stuck" in another area today and Alayna was really working hard to try to help him.  She worked at it until he got tired of it and pushed her away. 

It cracked me up when Alayna started singing Johnny Cash's "The Ring of Fire".  She sang almost all the word to the chorus.  If I didn't know better, I would have thought she grew up in my family's house.  : )  I have never heard one of our kiddos sing that song before!  : ) 

At 10:10 today Alayna was messing around in the doll cradle and slipped and bonked her left eye pretty badly.  I immediately applied a cold cloth and it helped the swelling and bruising quite a bit, but I will be surprised if she doesn't have a black eye tomorrow!  Ugh! 

Alayna got a bunch of books, sat in the middle of the couch and announced, "It's story time kids!  Are you ready?"  Several of the kiddos did actually join her and she did her best to "read" to them.  : )
