Joslyn ate dried mangoes and most of jelly toast for breakfast.  For lunch she had 2nd's on burritos, ate steamed broccoli, and tropical fruit.

Joslyn did much better today in regards to the screaming fits.  She even yelled, "help me!!" once when Thomas was in her space.  Using her words is what we're really trying to get her in the habit of doing.  Screaming is so much easier and quicker and usually gets some kind of immediate result.  So when she does say "help me" we try to be very prompt in answering and praising her for that response.

There was a buck deer in the driveway for several seconds before it moved on.  The kids were lined up at the window watching it.

She was very engaged at one of the little workbenches for 30 - 40 minutes after breakfast.  That's a long time for someone at that age.  (no attention deficiency there)  She was working with getting the threaded bolts screwed into holes on the bench and doing a good job with it.  She had a couple other toys there too,  but we were impressed with how long she stayed on task.

We have this little carpet in the back that has 'roads' on it and she was driving the cars and tractors around.  She also played with the legos and stacked the interlocking blocks together.
