Kenzie ate seconds on grapes and all of her cinnamon toast at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her canned cherries and dinner roll, about half of her potatoes and her chicken.
Kenzie cuddled for a little then looked at books before coming over to me and asking if she could "go jump in the back room with Morgie". Morgan was all for that, so they spend about 15 minutes happily and rowdily jumping and doing gymnastics.
Kenzie was sitting on the couch at the end of the big block "sidewalk" this morning. Emily was lying on her belly and scooting along toward Kenzie (not really intentionally to get Kenzie though). Kenzie started giggling and said, "Oh! Oh! The dolphin gonna get me!" Emily loved that and they went with that for several minutes.
I was using my date book as a hard surface to take my journalling notes on this morning and Kenzie realized there was a picture of a lizard on the back. They then wanted to look at my "book pictures". Each set of pages has the week's plan on one page and an Arizona picture on the other. It is spiral bound so I always fold it over for compactness and convenience. We went through the whole thing looking at picture (as we have done many times already this year). Morgan obviously is familiar with cacti because every picture that had a cactus on it she would touch the page and say "ow-ow-ow!". Since it is an Arizona date book there are MANY pictures of cacti and several of the kiddos imitated Morgan and were "ow-ing" right along with her! : ) Kenzie thought that was great fun!
Kenzie was being very motherly this morning. She wrapped up one of the dolls very well then was kind of rocking/bouncing it as she walked around and saying "Shshshshshsh!" She was talking to the baby, telling it she was going to lay it back down for a nap and also telling us we needed to be quiet because her baby was sleeping. It was very sweet.
Kenzie must have been quite tired late this morning because by about 11:00 everything was either frustrating her or making her sad. I had her come in and help me when I went in to fix lunch. She was an amazing helper. She lay down all of the nap mats and pillows. Baby Noah also woke up right about then and she fed him his bottle for me so I could keep cooking. She did a great job and he ended up drinking the whole thing for her, which I usually can't even get him to do. She was SO proud of herself! I have a couple great pictures, but need to still figure out a plan for loading them here now that my other computer died.
