Kenzie ate a taste of her prunes and most of her oatmeal at breakfast. At lunch she ate all her mandarin oranges and a bite of both biscuit and her hashbrown casserole.
Kenzie was very interested an engaged in story time. I always have her sit on my lap because otherwise she doesn' t stay long. If I do that, she almost always stays for the whole things, does a great job of looking and not touching the book. She ias seemed more and more interested and will answer questions I ask, finish lines of their favorites and overall listen and watch more closely.
Kenzie not only likes to build with the big interlocking blocks, but she loves to wreck what we have build also. I had build "steps (thre blocks tall)" with a platform for them to climp up, stand and walk on then jump off yesterday. They had played on it a lot yesterday, but today Kenzie was determined to take it apart. Once she started then everyone came over to help. : )
Kenzie frequently looks at the family pictures ont the wall. Today she and Joslyn were looking at the one we have up of Coral and her family and friends. They were actually pointing and visiting about "Coral", Lauralea, Gary and some other stuff I couldn't understand as they looked at and pointed at it. It was really cute!

Kenzie ate a bite of cantaloupe and about half of her french bread at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her "ham", which was really turkey : ). She also ate all of her dried mango bits, most of her crescent roll and a taste of squash.
Kenzie was reading lots of books on the little yello bench. Emily was sitting by her during this time and Kenzie was sharing with her and shoing her the pictures very nicely. It amazing me how clearly Kenzie says "Emily" name. Most of the kiddos either call her "Emmy", or "Emly", but Kenzie makes sure she gets all of the syllables.
Kenzie was doing block play again today, of course. Today she did add another dimension to it. She was using the dinosaurs alond with it. Mostly she was putting (standing) them up on top of the blocks creations she (or others) had made.

Kenzie ate bites of her whole wheat toast and no mixed berries at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her ham and saltines, about half of her bean soup and no kiwi.
Kenzie wanted her jacket off after a while this morning and i saw her struggling with it. I went over to try to help her with it and she jerked away from me and raced over to Gary, saying "Gary help!" -- the little stinker! : )
She really enjoys building with the big blocks. She likes it even more when Morgan is here and will build alongside her. Neither of them really bothers the other or tries to take blocks that the other on is building with, which is probably part of why they like working at it at the same time. They both are also very interested and adept at using the blocks, which is another plus.
Morgan was holding one of the play cups up to her mouth (cupped over it) and talking or making sounds into it. Kenzie watched and listened for a minute or so, then started imitating her. Morgan loved it when she saw Kenzie doing it too.
Kenzie went over to the dress up stuff, put a pair of boots on then wrapped a scarf around her neck, folded her arms and said, "Brrr.... Cold!" Gary and I thought that was super cute!

Kenzie ate a bite of her whole wheat bagel and maybe a taste of her dried apricots at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her applesauce and her fish and a couple bites of her pea and pasta salad.
Kenzie was carefully dropping the little ice cream spoons into one of the little plastic orange juice jars. She kept putting them in until no more would fit through the hole. She obviously made it look pretty fun because Jadey started imitating it also.
Kenzie has not been leaving her pony tails in very well lately. I haven't been choosing that battle, but have been putting them in after nap most of the time (if I remember). Today her nose ran so much that I did put them back in just to keep her hair out of her nose drippings in between the many wipings. She is so good about letting us wipe her nose though. It cracks me up how she will even take out her binky (if she has it in) so we can wipe it!
She was putting stuff into one of the dress-up hats today and carrying it around, calling it "My bag". She had it full enough that if she wasn't careful she lost stuff out!
Today I put on some upbeat music and she held her hands out and went over to Jadey saying, "my handle - my handle". She was wanting her to hold hands and dance with her. When Jadey figured it out, she did it and Kenzie was thrilled!

Kenzie ate bites of her bran cereal and a bite or two of craisins at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her tropical fruit and cheese pizza and a taste of cauliflower.
Kenzie has really been attached to Gary lately, so he has been "helping" with her care also. She requests that he wash her, change her, "help" her, and often goes to him for comforting. We are kind of waiting to see if she fascilates back to me or continues on with the Gary attachment right now. For example, at lunch she was up ready to wash her hands and asked, "Gary wash. Gary wash." : )
She took Gary a book today and was thrilled when he read it to just her. Of course, it only started that way, because as soon as he started reading, the rest of the kiddos headed over to listen too. : )
Kenzie uses the ice cream cups for cups to put "water" in out of the play faucets at the kitchen sets, then shares it with her friends. I love how much they are getting into dramatic pretend play, including feeding each other. I also have been impressed with this group and how often they will go over and give each other a love or ask "You okay?" if one of them gets hurt or is upset about something. Cute!

Kenzie ate a bite of her malt-o-meal and had several bites of raisins at breakfast. Actually she technically had several "chews" of raisins! She was putting them in her mouth, chewing them up and then spitting them out. At lunch she ate most of her hamburger, a taste of noodles, all of her fruit and a bite of veggies.
The little guy that occasionally comes when there is an infant gone was here today. Kenzie is obviously getting used to him being here once in a while because she looked and pointed at him today and announced, "That Aaron! Hi Aaron!" It was really cute.
It was only Kenzie, Riley, Aaron and Emily today. Kenzie and Emily played together (parallel) a lot today and really got along well without the others to add more dynamics. For example, the played with the big interlocking blocks alongside each other for about 30 minutes and there was so much laughter and smiles as the built, knocked over and rebuilt.
Later they were standing in front of the big mirror and doing the exact same things. When one would peek, the other would peek. When one would clap, dance, laugh, fold their arms, stand a certain way, the other would immediately copy. It was great!

Kenzie ate a bite of her blueberries and a couple bites of cinnamon raisin English muffin at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her chicken on crackers, a couple bites of canned cherries and a bite of potato salad.
Kenzie loved the big girl visiting here today. She was trying hard to have her undivided attention much of the morning. She kept asking her to "Help" her get on and off one of the dress-up rain coats. She was also a little perturbed when I let Audrey hold baby Riley. I am not sure who she was more jealous of -- Audrey or Riley! : )
Kenzie loved drawing with the magna doodle deals. She had to sit right by Audrey and watched what she was doing closely. I think she was trying to imitate what she was doing, that just was a little too detailed...
Kenzie, Morgan, Joslyn and Emily were lining up alongside the door against the wall in the "jumping room" and said, "Set.... Go.....!" Then they would race across the floor and flop down on the mattress. Not every time, but frequently as Kenzie would flop on the mattress she would say, "Splat!"

Kenzie ate a bite of her biscuit and all of her peaches at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her pineapple and dinner roll, and bites of both broccoli and baked beans.
Kenzie has really been playing at the little kitchen set sink lately. She will hold up a glass, cup or ice cream cone to the faucet and say "water" many times throughout the morning. She also pretends to be washing her hands some of the time too, which is adorable.
Kenzie got one of the doll blankets, brought it over to me, handed it to me, lay down on the floor and started singing "Nigh-night Kenzie" until I covered her up. It was so cute! I love how well her language is developing and how she is begining to use it more functionally (to let us know what she needs and/or wants). That is so helpful.
I have been trying something here the last couple days. When Kenzie asks for her binky, I have been trying to distract or redirect her first. If that doesn't work and she continues to ask then I have been giving it to her, but having her play with something on the couch or chair rather than walking around with it. It couldn't be a big deal, but she will often drop it or lose it and then we find it in either Thomas or Peyton's mouth. Just trying to find a way to meet her need, but limit the spread of germs. So far she has been fine with the arrangment.

Kenzie ate most of her waffle and about half of her hashbrowns at breakfast today. At lunch she ate all of her oranges and shrimp, about half of her rice and a taste of the yellow peppers.
Kenzie cracked me up today when she grabbed one of the ice cream carts after breakfast and announced, "Better get going!" : )
There was a bunch of crows outside the big window today that the kiddos were all lined up watching. I love how often simple things are so intriguing. If we would only keep the interest and wonder of a child... : )
I have noticed that Kenzie kept trying to get her hands down the front of her pants several times this last week. Now that we know she has a yeast infection, it sure makes sense. Yeast infections usually itch like crazy and are so uncomfortable. Poor sweetie! I forgot to ask you if we were supposed to do anything different (like not using any cream or only one kind or something). I will try to remember to ask you tonight.

Kenzie ate bites of both her cheerios and banana at breakfast. At lunch she ate about half of her grilled cheese sandwich and all of her tomato soup and apple slices. She is doing very well with holding her open cup of tomato soup and feeding herself. I keep my hand right there ready to help, but she only needed it once today.
I have been getting such a kick out of watching the kiddos explore the "new" toys today. One of the things that are are are cameras. Even though we have a digital camera, it still looks so funny to see the kiddos holding the cameras out in front of them rather than up to their eyes. They were all doing it and saying "cheese" this morning. It is really cute!
Kenzie noticed a little piece of yarn off of one of the scarves on the floor today. She was very excited and started scour the floor, trying to find more. : )
Kenzie loved pushing around and filling the ice cream carts today. She was determined to run right over Thomas for a while and kept pushing and saying "Move Thomas!" even as I was helping direct her and the cart around him!

Kenzie ate bites of both her whole wheat toast with jelly and her dried mangoes at breakfast. At lunch she ate most of her tropical fruit, a bite of potatoes and a couple bites of her burrito.
Kenzie tugged and tugged until she got the lego table drawer open and then she collected a bunch of the lego fence pieces. She brought them over to me and said, "Morgie fence". Sure enough, Morgan is the one that plays with most of the time. I thought that was pretty observant of her.
Riley has done wonderful today. What a doll! I think Kenzie has enjoyed having her here also. She has been definitely keeping tabs on where and how she is! We must have heard, "Where Riley Roo?" at least 10 times today. Most of the time it was when she was napping, but a couple times it was while I was holding her. : )
Morgan was riding on the big block "motorcycle" today and Kenzie was trying to push her around the big room. The only way she could budge her was when Morgan "helped her". They were both really enjoying it though.
For about an hour this morning, Kenzie had one or another of the farm troughs in her mouth. She is so oral that she almost always has something or another in her mouth. : ) Part of the time she had it in with the part that sticks onto the lego bumps in her mouth and the trough part sticking out. It made it look like she had a rectangular shaped mouth!

Kenzie ate about half of her cinnamon roll and maybe a bite of prunes at breakfast. At lunch she ate a couple bites of hashbrowns, about half of her waffle and no cantaloupe or scrembled eggs.
Kenzie brought one of the animal costume coats over to me and aske me to "help". I held it up for her to put her arms in and she just growled at me and said, "wanna flip up". She had just watched me lay it down on the floor for Morgan to put her arms in the hole and flip it over to put it on. I lay it down and tried to get her to stand at the hood and do it, but instead just lay down on the floor then yelled when I told her I couldn't get it on her that way. Silly girl! (That's probably what she was thinking also!) : )
Today was a "want Gary!" day. I don't know how many times she actually said that today and how many more her actions said it even more clear. Even when she crashed today she chose him over me. She is one of the kiddos that would be fine being either one of our kiddos. She loves us both and seems to vascilate between who she wants on any given day.
The "baby" that Kenzie played with most of the morning was one of the little duplo guys. She was holding it against her and swaying back and forth like she was rocking him. She was also "singing" to him and it was so cute.

Kenzie ate about half of her mixed fruit and bites of her Kix cereal at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her ham sandwich and mandarin oranges and about half of her steamed broccoli.
Kenzie was very cuddly today off and on and wanted her binky from about 10:30 on. We put her rash stuff on her face and went ahead and gave it to her, knowing she isn't feeling well. She I put the rash stuff on again before nap also.
Kenzie went over to Gary and told him, "Music" while pointing to the CD player in the big room. As soon as he turned it on, both she and Emily started dancing, twirling, jumping and falling down. Their dancing is so great. Gary and I just crack up!
Kenzie handed Gary some of the big blocks and told him "a tractor", wanting him to build her a tractor to ride on. He made a "motorcycle" and said, here is your "tractor" which can also double as a motorcycle. A while after that and out of the blue Kenzie said, "Silly Gary" and I have to say I have to agree. : )
She is sleeping very restlessly -- tossing first this way than that, whimpering but still sleeping. It will be interesting to see if she wakes up early or takes a regular nap.

Kenzie ate a bite of her raisins and about half of her brown rice at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her french bread, bites of her meatloaf, a bite of dried apricot and no cooked carrots.
Kenzie saw that Joslyn was pretending to eat spaghetti this morning. She went over to her with her mouth open and asked, "a bite, a bite, a bite" until Joslyn gave her a bite. Both of them were all smiles then and Joslyn fed Kenzie several times after that.
Kenzie was chanting "binky, binky, binky" this morning until we gave it to her. I have been trying to give it to her only when she really needs it because of the rash around her mouth (and I do think it helped), but she definitely needed it today.
Our little visitor guy (Aaron) was here again today. Kenzie came over to him and gave him a little hug, greeting him by name, "Hi Aaron!" It was pretty awesome.

Kenzie ate all of her grapes and almost half of her cinnamon toast at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her canned cherries, about half of her mashed potatoes and chicken strips and a couple bites of her dinner roll.
Kenzie was funny at lunch. I was sitting right beside her, but she kept asking Gary to "help" her spoon up her mashed potatoes. Also her high chair is by the dryer where we put the extra food. Well, every time Gary goes over there to get something, she always grabs or touches him. It is pretty funny!
Our daughter from Louisiana (Christina) flew in Tuesday evening and will be here until Saturday about noon. She was hanging out in the big room with the kiddos and us this morning and Kenzie and some of the others were really showing off for her. While Kenzie was showing off, she bonked her head a little too hard on the floor. She meant to bonk it, but I think it was a little harder than she had anticipated. She kind of chuckles at first, then decided it hurt and cried.
After Christina left the room, Kenzie walked around asking "Where Iz-Tina go?" Christina loved that! : )
I cleared my throat this morning and Kenzie kept copying the sound. She must have done it about 10 times. She was grinning all the while and when I made the sound back at her, she just chuckled like crazy.

Kenzie ate seconds on peaches and a couple bites of peaches. At lunch she ate most of her macaroni and cheese and corn and all of her salad with ranch dressing.
We have decided that Kenzie is becoming the master of distraction. If you want her to do something she often will say something totally unrelated, as if to try to get you to forget what you were going to have her do. She almost alway does this when we are tying to get her to help pick up toys to switch rooms or go outside.
Morgan bonked herself a little and asked for a cold cloth today to sooth it. Kenzie watched what was going on then followed me around asking "cold cloth".
Emily makes this little dolphin type sound "heh-heh=heh-heh." Today Kenzie, Morgan, Jadey and Joslyn were all imitating her. Emily really got a kick out of that and was grinning from ear to read.

Kenzie ate all of her pears and a taste of her blueberry muffin at breakfast. At lunch she ate a bite or two of sweet potatoes, and all of her oranges slices and her tuna on crackers.
Kenzie accidentally bonked her head on the floor when she was playing this morning and decided it was funny so she continued to do it over and over on purpose. She would do it and then cover her mouth and laugh about it. It is so cute when she covers her mouth like that. : ) Alayna was watching her and cracking up at her also, which probably also helped her keep going.
Kenzie played with the legos repeatedly this morning. She especially likes the tractor with the little trailer. She brings it to us to hook together then goes over and finds a guy to sit in the tractor and an animal to put in the trailer.
I was doing some "testing" of Kenzie today for our developmental checklist. I had tried to other times, but she wasn't very cooperative about it. Today she did better and I got most of the information I needed. It is things like "understands the difference between big and small", can match a real object to it's picture...
Kenzie accidentally bonked her head on the floor when she was playing this morning and decided it was funny so she continued to do it over and over on purpose.

Kenzie ate all of her fruit salad and seveal bites of her Chex cereal at breakfast. At lunch she drank all of her tomato soup, ate about half of her apple bits and a couple bites of her roast beef sandwich.
Kenzie gave both Gary and I loves or cuddled with us multiple times this morning. It seemed like she missed us. I KNOW we missed her! Kenzie was standing on the picnic table bench with Emily and singing "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" quite loudly today.
Kenzie also seemed to have missed her big interlocking blocks. She was busy putting them together and messing with them this mroning. She was pushing them around, riding on them, stacking them, taking them apart and so on.
I was peeking over the arm of the couch at her today and she was just chuckling. It made it even more cute when she was laughing and covering her mouth with her hand. It is just too adorable!
Some of the "bigger" kiddos were laying on the floor and covering each other (or having me cover them). Emily was wanting to be covered up also. Before I got over to her, Kenzie had her neatly covered and was patting and singing the "Good-night song" to her. It was super cute. They did it over and over. Kenzie and Emily both were loving it!
