11/19/2010

Morgan ate seconds on malt-o-meal and strawberries at breakfast.  At lunch she ate most of her beef barley stew and all of her biscuit and dried mango bits.

Morgan started fussing and following me around after about 10 minutes, so I asked her if she wanted to go "night-night" and she started waving.  She took about a 45 minute nap before breakfast.  She did pretty well after that until not long before lunch, when she started getting tired again.

Morgan was having so much fun today wrestling with the terry bears and playing on the soft climber and mattress with Keenan, Jadey and Connor.  They were all squealing and having a blast.  Keenan is very good with the little ones -- interacts with them without being overbearing most of the time.

Morgan was also having fun experimenting with the food stuff again today.  She always has to see what will go inside of what, how they sound when they bang together and so forth.  I love this picture and how focused she is one what she is doing.

Morgan not only enjoys having fun herself, but she really notices and enjoys it when others are having fun.  It doesn't matter if it is a child that is right next to her, or all the way across the room.  When they are laughing and having fun, Morgan almost always is watching with either a smile on her face or she is chuckling herself.  That is such a great quality for a child to have (and it isn't very common). We have found that those kiddos are usually the ones that also are more empathetic and nurturing, by nature.
