5/3/12

Alayna ate all of her blueberries and most of her blueberry bread pudding at breakfast.  At lunch she ate seconds on turkey burger on a bun and all of her kiwi and green beans.

Alayna was actually jumping on her knees on the mattress today and getting pretty far off the mattress.  It was pretty amazing!  I can't think of ever seeing another kiddo do it at all. 

Alayna has a pretty amazing play skills.  She adapts herself to the play level of whoever she plays with amazingly well.  She can play with the babies so well that they just love her.  She is very patient and kind to the mobile babies and beginning toddlers even when they aren't the most gentle things.  She also related to them and loved to do things that she knows will make them laugh.  She can then play with the kiddos that are also her age or slightly younger by doing parallel, associative and beginning cooperative play.  It is like she understands intuitively where they are developmentally and can adjust to that.  It is a great quality!

She and Kenzie were having a blast playing chase with each other on the "rowdy" side of the big room.  They were both laughing so hard at one time that that fell over on the mattress and just lay there cracking up!
