Morgan ate a bite of her fruit salad and all of her chex cereal at breakfast. At lunch she ate most of her roast beef sandwich and all of her tomato soup and apple slices, cut in bits.
When it was time to put each of the younger babies down for their morning naps she had to wave and tell each one either "bye-bye" or "nigh-nigh". It was very cute. Baby Emily really liked it and was waving right back at her.
Morgan was spending time stacking up the big blocks again today. She worked at it herself quite a bit, but was also watching (and doing some helping) when Keenan and Bode were stacking theirs side by side. Bode was more willing to let her help, so she hung out by him more. He let her put on the blocks until she could reach no more then she handed them to him and he put them on. When they tipped it over and it crashed, Morgan was chuckling right along with them.
Morgan has been doing pretty well with the focus on using the positive directions like "find a different mixer" or "take it to the other side for me please" rather than telling her "no" or "don't" do whatever. The negatives (even when it is the kiddos that say them) just seem to trigger her fury and she is working toward a tantrum before she even seems to know what it going on. If I can rephrase it quick enough, I can sometimes defuse it before the full blown explosion.
