3/7/12

Morgan ate all of her dried mangoes and about half of her whole wheat bread with jelly on it at breakfast.  At lunch Morgan ate all of her sweet potatoes and beef and bean burrito and a bite of tropical fruit. 

Today Alayna brought a blanket from home and wanted to cuddle.  I told her we could for a little while and Morgan immediately wanted to cuddle with us also.  Alayna was very sweet about sharing her blanket with Morgan as the three of us cuddled on the couch. 

Morgan struggled for about 45 minutes today with grabbing kiddos toys or clothing and not wanting to let go without intervention from us.  We started out with just verbally reminding her and that didn't work for any of the incidents.  When we finally had to help her let go, she had a melt-down all three times.  After the third time, it was like a switch flipped and there was no more trouble!  I snuggled her for quite a while after she took a little break and she kept telling me she was tired, so that was probably what was going on.  Also after she rejoined us after a break, Kenzie came over to very excited and exclaimed happily, "Morgan, you gonna listen?!"  : )  That cracked me up!  I guess Kenzie missed her and was glad she was back. 

We were listening to the CD together during one of our snuggle times and every time a song ended she would kind of cock her head and ask, "What's that one?" about the next song coming up.  It was pretty cute.

I was at Staples making copies before class last night and found these neat white board spiral notebooks with the alphabet, numbers and just blank space.  I got six of them for the oldest ones.  We tried them today and they all really liked them.  Morgan and Joslyn were the only ones that really tried to imitate any of the letters.  They were both really trying to make the first letter of their name.
