Morgan ate seconds on both cinnamon toast and grapes at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her mashed potatoes, a bite of her cherries and about half of both her dinner roll and her home made baked chicken strips.
Bode was sitting on the couch and Morgan came over and was looking up at him. Bode said he wanted to hold her and Morgan immediately started trying to climb up onto his lap. I helped them get situation and Morgan sat there for about a minute. Bode then started squirming and said, "She kind of too heavy". I think Morgan would have been happy to sit there for much longer by the looks of her happy and contented little face.
Morgan loves the Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat book that is out right now. She hates it when anyone else has the book (unless it is Bode or Keenan and they are reading it to her. : )
Morgan is just fascinated by Gary flossing and brushing his teeth every morning. He does it in the utility room and she stands at the little gate watching intently and chuckling occasionally when something hits her funny bone (like the foam around his mouth). : ) It is really funny!
We have been consistently telling, showing or helping Morgan "find a different one" when she tries to take a toy or book from one of the kiddos. Other than with the pussy cat book, she has been doing it at the "Tell" stage most of the time. : )

Morgan ate all of her whole wheat bagel and peaches at breakfast. At lunch she ate thirds on home made macaroni and cheese with ham and all of her salad with ranch dressing and her corn.
Morgan wanted to sit by me on the couch multiple times today. She didn't want me to hold her or even cuddle her when she was sitting there, just wanted to be by me while she looked at a book or played with whatever toy she happened to have. It was kind of cute.
Morgan put one of the tambourine's on her head like a crown and was strutting around like she was the queen of the place. She had to walk over with it to the mirror to see what she looked like and grinned at herself in the mirror. She then started making quick little nods like she was trying to knock it off. When it would fall, she'd chuckle then put it back up there.
She had a couple brief tantrums over not getting someone else's toy or not getter her way but they were short lived and she listened well after they were over. This is definitely progress! : )
Morgan was having fun putting little people in a fire truck that was not a little people fire truck. Because of that they didn't actually fit well and weren't staying in very well. When she would dump them out or they just tipped out she calmly just picked them back up and put them back in and away she went. : )

Morgan ate all of her blueberry muffin and pears at breakfast today. At lunch she ate thirds on sweet potatoes, seconds on crackers and all of her orange slices and her tuna on crackers.
Morgan must have brought me the doll for me to help her wrap at least 10 times today. I really want to say about 20, but that might be a little exaggerated. : ) She is really starting to say "help me" without prompting more (although it really sounds more like "up me"). : )
Morgan struggled more with being aggressive (mostly trying to take toys and then hitting at or otherwise attacking if they won't give the toy up) today. It was with Joslyn most of the time (5-6) but also Bode, Everson and Cypress at least once a piece. We had to intervene (Help) every time because she would listen at the Tell or Show stage. She got upset at that every time, but it never did last more than a minute or two. Not getting your way is so rough! : )
Morgan went over to the book rack and started just taking them all out without looking at them. I reminded her to take out only the one she wanted to look at and she immediately stopped unloading it, picked up one of the books from the floor and sat down and started to look at it. She is a smart little whooper and really understands language well.
Gary was playing with her with one of the stethoscopes today. He helped her put the ends in her ear then was talking into the other end so she could listen to it. Her face had such a sweet and curious look on it and she wanted to do it more and more. It was fun to observe.

Morgan ate a bite of her fruit salad and all of her chex cereal at breakfast. At lunch she ate (drank) all of her tomato soup and her roast beef sandwich and most of her apple slices (cut in pieces).
Morgan was really into two of the action songs we were singing today. The first was "If you're happy and you know it" (of course) and the second was the "Ya all fall down". They stomp, spin, and fall down in it and she loves it!
Jadey got upset over something and was sitting on the floor and crying. Morgan stopped what she was doing, went over to her and gave her a hug. Often Jadey doesn't respond well when someone tries to hug her when she is upset, but she really responded to Morgan and even stopped crying. Morgan looked so proud of herself. : ) I love it when they do something sweet like that and get those natural and internal rewards.
Morgan had a couple times when she began to have a tantrum, but one never got away from her. She wiped it up before it got started every time.
Morgan was walking around today talking into the end of the stethoscope that you usually have on the patient's heart like it was a telephone. : )
