2/19 & 2/20/13

Joslyn ate seconds on toast and thirds on dried mangoes at breakfast. At lunch she ate all of her elf and bean burrito, a bite of her sweet potatoes and about half of her tropical fruit.

Joslyn was pretending to go on "Bacation" and trying to get all of the other kiddos to go with her. Thomas said he wanted to go too and then Aaron came over and said, "Oh no! I come 'wit' you!" I think he was afraid he was going to be left behind.

As usual, Joslyn had to try on most of the dress ups. There are boots, hats, mittens, gloves, scarves, sunglasses and goggles. Joslyn had everything but the sunglasses on and told Kenzie she was "going skiing." It was cute.

Joslyn and Thomas were having a blast shoving all of the stuffed animals into the igloo, taking them out, putting them in the corner "to wallamaroo". I'm not sure what that is, but she had Thomas convinced of the place.

Joslyn, Thomas and Riley were on the rowdy side of the room and Emily, Kenzie and Mia on the other. Emily and Kenzie were meeting the rowdy side kiddos with "water ". Even Riley was coming over with her arms out saying "more" to get some. It was great!

I was having some of the kiddos try to do things for the developmental assessments and must have called it testing, because the three bigger girls talked about testing the rest of the morning. Joslyn loved doing all of the things I asked her to do. She had a difficult time not answering or doing the things when it WASN'T her turn too. : )

We had made what we had called a "hide-a-way" with the big blocks in the back room. It had two and a half walls and then we put it up against the room wall on the open side and with the half wall against the block shelf. In order to get in they either had to scoot it away from the wall or crawl in through the big block shelf. Yesterday they had played with it that way for the entire time. Today it morphed into "McDonalds" and the wall was the order counter. Behind it was the kitchen. Kenzie and Joslyn were in the kitchen and kept trying to get Aaron and Riley to place some orders. The whole thing was pretty humorous

Most of the kiddos really don't care much for Mia and often ignore, move away from or yell at her because she is often after something they have. Joslyn will often not only tolerate her, but love on her, which is nice.
