11/27/12

Kenzie ate about half of her hash browns and all of her waffles at breakfast. At lunch she ate most of her colored peppers and all of her shrimp, rice and oranges.

It is so cool how often Kenzie and Riley play together or at least interacting with each other. Many times it is Kenzie trying to get Riley to come play with her. We hear, "hey Riley!" often throughout the day. It cracks me up. Riley almost always goes over to her and joins her with a big grin on her face. : )

I have been observing Kenzie closely during play times where she struggles the most. i have come to the conclusion that she has a hard time not grabbing the other kiddos. It often starts off in play, but usually the kiddos don't appreciate it so they either grab back or tell her to let go, which then leads to a more aggressive response. I feel like I am constantly reminding her "No hands" and to "be a good friend", but it doesn't seem to have much impact. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them with me. Today, for example, I has just given her the reminders when she went over to Thomas and grabbed him. He yelled no at her so she started kicking him. Riley then came over and joined in trying to kick him also.

Kenzie loves all of the little stuffed puppies and kitties out right now. She gathers as many as she can hold, and usually a couple more. It is really cute! As much as she loves them (and hates it when someone else gets one of her favorites), she will always share one with Riley. Riley always gets special treatment from Kenzie. : )

Kenzie and Joslyn were very involved in playing with the dolls. They were feeding them, putting them to bed, reading them stories, and otherwise playing with them for about 20-25 minutes.

I sat baby Noah in the chair when we went to the back room and Kenzie went over and talked to him several different times. It was very sweet. She really does like the babies!
