Kenzie ate a bite of her blueberry muffin and all of her pears at breakfast (and drank quite a bit of milk). At lunch she ate all of her crackers, her oranges and no tuna or sweet potatoes.
Kenzie seemed super glad to be back. She not only did well most of the time with her friends, she also gave frequent and spontaneous hugs to adults and kiddos throughout the morning. It was especially sweet to see her hugging each of her friends this morning after she came. Morgan especially enjoyed the Kenzie hugs.
Of course, Gary and I both enjoyed them immensely too. Gary especially thought it was precious when she would come over and visit with him and he would visit back and in the middle of the conversation, she would throw her arms around his neck and hug him. : ) Who wouldn't be enthralled?!
Kenzie did have a few times of trying to "re-establish" her territory when she first came -- that struggle with the toddler "Mine" syndrome, you know... But she responded well to our reminders of "find a toy that no one is playing with" or "she's using that one so you have to wait until she is done and puts it down."
One thing that I that I thought was hilarious was how she was instructing Thomas to "Take it back side" when Thomas had one of the hard toys over one the rowdy side of the big room. We try to keep the toys away from there so that no one falls on them while jumping on the mattress or otherwise being rowdy. She knows the rules very well and can tell others exactly what they are. Does that mean she always follows them? Not necessarily... : )
