All of the bigger kiddos were very excited that Bode came to visit for a couple hours this morning.  His big brother, Tate, had a program at school that he was going to go to and mom needed to go into work but didn't want to run him across town for just a short period then pick him up for the program.  Bode is so great with the littler kiddos and did a wonderful job of entertaining them and leading them in some fun play.  He was teaching them some new stunts on the climber and mattress, "reading" to them, building with the big blocks and Duplos with them and showing them what letters the ABC banner had on them.  It was great!

Joslyn told me she wanted to snuggle today and Morgan was immediately there saying, "me too because I'm having a hard time".  She really had been doing just fine as far as I could tell so it cracked me up.  Regardless she got to snuggle too!  : )

Morgan did very good all day when she started to struggle.  I was giving a choice between three things a couple different times and that seemed to be more appealing to her.  One of the times when it didn't appear that it was going to work, I also started asking the other kiddos which choice that would make if they were the ones decided.  Morgan listened intently, calmed down and made an excellent choice. 

Morgan was playing with several of the little people in the back room this morning and she had them all positioned into a circle.  She told Kenzie, "They all talking".  It must have been a group meeting of some type!
