Alayna ate about half of her cheerios and all of her banana at breakfast.  At lunch she ate all of her grilled cheese sandwich, most of her apple slices and a drink of tomato soup. 

Alayna was using the play drill like a quirt bottle today and cleaning the table, the kitchen set, the posters and various other things.  It was pretty funny!  She did it for about 20 minutes, the first 10 or so totally by herself and then the others picked up on what she was doing and joined her. 

Alayna was trying to keep a whole pile of tools for herself.  She had at least ten items (pliers, drills, screwdrivers, wrenches...).  Every time someone wanted one she would either screech at them or tried to hit them.  We intervened and reminded her of the "one for each hand" rule and then let her choose which ones she wanted and move the rest totally away from her so it wasn't so temping to guard them.  : ) 

Alayna was crawling around on her hands and knees with her tongue hanging out, panting and making little barking sounds, pretending to be a puppy.  Pretty soon Morgan and Emily joined in so we had three puppies.
