5/24/12

Alayna ate thirds on cinnamon toast and thirds on fresh strawberries at breakfast.  We subbed the berries since Wal-Mart didn't have any grapes when I went shopping.  At lunch Alayna ate about half of her dinner roll and all of her mashed potatoes, chicken and canned cherries. 

Alayna spent even more than her usual amount of time talking to Nora (and singing to her) this morning.  Nora really responds to her so cute. 

Potty training didn't go real well today, but I am willing to give it another day of panties and then you can continue over the weekend and see how that goes.  She was obviously wet when she came, had another accident at 8:30 (right before I was planning to take them all potty).  She them pooped her pants at 10:40.  She told me immediately and was quite upset, so I think she really does WANT to do it and be successful.  That is why my gut says maybe we should keep trying for a few days. 

One thing that I thought was funny was that she spent a lot of time talking about pooping in "Gabe's room" and how "we don't poop in rooms, just in potties".  : )  I love kiddo's perspectives. 

Alayna was really cute reading stories to the stuffed bunny rabbit that she deemed "My bunny" for the day.  She read story after story and always situated him just right, asked him questions about the book or "can you see the pictures?" 

We played a game called "Hug a Bug" today.  We have played it plenty in the past, but we felt this group of kiddos have been too young to do it until now.  It is similar to 'Musical chairs' in theory, but helps the kiddos with spacial issues and build friendships.  We play dance music and then when we stop the music we announce "Hug a bug!  Find someone to hug nicely!"  They then each find a friend to give a hug and we turn the music on.  They really enjoyed it, but tired of it quickly.  Definitely something we will try again.
