Joslyn ate oatmeal and a bite of dried plums for breakfast.  For lunch she ate everything; hash brown casserole, biscuit, and mandarin oranges.

As you know we do toy exchange every two weeks and let the kids help us fill the washer.  Here's a picture of Joslyn doing some loading.  She is always very careful and meticulous about getting every item in there.  Which is in stark contrast to Thomas' approach.  He has the biggest armload he can possibly manage and dumps it all in at once.  In his journal today I included a picture of the items of his that made it into the garbage can instead of the washer.  :)


We were listening to kid's songs and everyone was playing.  "Jesus love me" came on and Joslyn says, "That's Alayna's song!!"  And she's right.  No one has mentioned Alayna lately and I like how something will prick their memory like that.  Very cute.

Joslyn and Thomas had another funny exchange this morning.  Thomas came to me for help getting his shoes off so he could join Joslyn on the climber.  So we got them off and I told him to put his shoes on the changing table (which he has done many times).  He turns to Joslyn and extends the shoes to her and says, "elp."  (help)  She laughs at him and says, "You don't need help!!!"  :)  I loved it.

Joslyn's motherly instincts came out again as usual.  :)  We were in the back room and Aaron picked up a toy that was sitting in front of Nora.  (it's a spinning toy that she really likes).  Nora started yelling like crazy and Aaron ran behind the chair and hid, but still clutching the toy of course.  Joslyn sprints for Nora to comfort her.  Good job Joslyn.  :)
