Kaylynn was up and ready to go nice and early this morning. First thing after she got up and had a go-gurt - a big poo-bomb in her diaper. It was just in time to get dressed for school, so we did that and off we went.

The report from daycare today was, "Kaylynn had a good day. She loved giving her friends hugs - she would walk around the room, following the kids w/ her arms out and say 'hug, hug, hug...' For wacky day we finger painted & ate a wacky breakfast - pink & green sprinkles on applesauce and toast and drank pink milk. We played outside."

When she & Julian got home, she was very excited to color. Then she had bananas and raisins for a snack - good balance :) She and I colored for quite a while and were very busy dropping marker caps on the floor and picking them up. Meanwhile, Julian made dinner (enchiladas for them, quinoa for me, broccoli for all of us). He put a touch of Tabasco on the enchiladas and she scarfed them down. She wasn't so fond of the broccoli, but it was a good try.

After dinner, she started to play with some big wooden beads that Savta gave her. Julian showed her how to string them on the lace, which is the point of the toy. Unfortunately, she really liked dumping them all over the floor, and unfortunately, Murphy liked to chew on them. Good news - Murphy didn't swallow anything, and only 1 bead was sacrificed. She sat on the floor for 9 minutes non-stop stringing those beads before Julian sat down with her to play. She also took all her groceries off the "shelf" and put them in her shopping cart. She loves doing that.

We were having trouble with Julian's laptop and called our friend, Tyler, to come for a visit and a little bit of help. The good news is that the laptop shaped up when Tyler walked in so we got to visit without having to work. Kaylynn was getting to know Tyler from a distance, but eventually she came and sat on my lap while I was sitting next to him. She also started jumping on a dog bed and "falling" down, making all of us laugh. She watched Tyler carefully to make sure he was paying attention.

For bedtime, we had a "happy and you know it" story (big surprise) and sang songs before she settled down. She had a few rounds of "up... down... up... down..." before she fell asleep.
