Aaron didn't eat more than his tasting licks at breakfast (rice and raisins). At lunch he ate all of his meatloaf, most of his dried apricots and an actual bit of both cooked carrots and French bread.
Aaron was flopping backwards onto the mattress from the floor and laughing at himself. He was saying "whoa, worwee" each time he flopped, wanting to make sure I saw him. It was really cute!
He was lying under the balance beam/climber, using one of the stuffed animals as his pillow. Riley was wanting to squeeze in with him, but there really wasn't room so it didn't work too well.
Gary was catching "rats in a rat trap", which means catching them between his knees. Aaron watched for a while, chuckling then just raced over to get "caught" in the rat trap too.

Aaron didn't want to eat breakfast -- most kiddos don't when they come right in the middle of it. He just wanted to play with the trains with Riley, which she loved. At lunch he ate a bite of his crescent roll and taste of cheery, but ate no chicken or hash browns.
Aaron does such a great job of giving his toys to either Gary or I when we ask (either when they start causing conflict or when we are transitioning to an activity where it would be a distraction).
We switched to the back rooms a little earlier than usual today because everyone was a little too crazy to be in large group as for as long as usual. Aaron loved the extra time to play with the tractors. He was lining all three of them up on the top of the toy shelf, driving them off the end of the shelf, then doing it again.
When we switched to the other back room, he immediately found the tracors and trailers in there also. He just loved driving things around,as you well know.
He also loves building with the Duplos and made a pretty interesting creation that I was able to get a picture of.

Aaron wasn't here for breakfast and at lunch he didn't want to eat anything, but did have his taste or lick. We had corn, salad with ranch dressing, ham and macaroni and cheese.
Aaron has kind of given up on Emily and switched over to Riley for his buddy this last week or so. Emily has been playing with Kenzie, Thomas and Joslyn more lately so I think he was feeling slighted.
Aaron took his shoes off and left them just laying in the middle of the floor. Riley found them and brought them over to me, saying "oh, oh" repeatedly, then helped put them up on the changing table. Aaron was cheering her on!
Aaron decided that the Duplos needed picked up out of the blue, about halfway through our play time in that room. He started picking them up and putting them in the Duplo drawer. Riley saw what he was doing and immediately joined in on the clean up project.
If I miss a day of journaling or it is extremely brief for the next week or so, it will be because of focusing on completing the yearly child evaluations/assessments we do. That was what was going on yesterday. Thanks, in advance for your understanding.

Aaron ate all of his cantaloupe and a lick of French bread at breakfast. At lunch he ate all of his dried mangos, a couple botes of crescent roll and had a lick of his sliced turkey and green beans. While he was eating he held up a piece of mango and said, "look! Mango!" so clearly! Way to go, Aaron!
Today he, Thomas, Kenzie and Riley were jumping on the mattress and being kind of loud. Aaron suddenly covered his ears and said, "noise, noise!" Isn't that interesting? It hasn't seemed to make a difference in his own decibel level though! : )
Aaron came over and told me "hat up" several times, then "Thank you!" after I put his shirt hood up.
Gary was standing at the changing table taking some notes for his journals and his legs were slightly apart. Aaron crawled through them like a tunnel and just cracked up. He made it look so fun that Emily and Thomas has to try it too. They didn't think it was quite a funny as he did, but he laughed even when they did it! : ) I just love his sense of humor and chuckle!
Aaron stuck all of the stuffed animals behind the igloo, then took them all over to line them up on the mattress along the wall, then hauled them all back behind the igloo again. He loves doing that!

Aaron didn't eat anything at breakfast. At lunch he ate all of his saltine crackers and his ham. He also had a lick of kiwi and bite of bean soup.
Aaron was trying to tease Nora this morning. He was crawling toward her slowly like he was going to get her. At first she didn't think she liked it, but started grinning and chuckling later. They were also peaking in and around the igloo together, which was super cute!
Aaron's jumping skills have just blossomed the last couple weeks. He not only actually jumps off of the climber/balance beam, but also bounces like a bunny all the way across the mattress.
Aaron was so excited this morning when Gary got out the books to read. He just raced over to sit on the chair, ready to listen. He is SO focused the whole story time. It is awesome!
Aaron was trying to hook the Duplo trailer to the tractor and couldn't quite get it on his own. He brought it over and said, "help me!" very clearly. As soon as I handed it back to him, he immediately said "Thanks" also very clearly and without prompting. It was awesome!

Aaron didn't eat any breakfast here. At lunch he ate all of his applesauce, the grated cheese off of the peas and pasta, along with the a few noodles out of it. He had a taste of the tilapia.
Aaron was very cute playing with his cars with Riley. They were chuckling together and racing around the table.
When he was done with the car play he started to explore the toys from the new toy exchange. He looked at a lot of the stuffed farm animals, some of the books and checked out most of the food toys.
Aaron loves to stack things and it is frequently things that aren't typically stacked. For example, last week he stacked the play cups of orange juice and today it has been the pots and pans.
Aaron was imitating how Mia was cautiously walking around the bench ofthe table holding on to the table top. When she left to do something differently, he followed her to the mattress, and then over the gate.

At lunch Aaron ate most of his mixed fruit and several bites of the meat out of his spaghetti.
Aaron started playing with Riley even before we switched to the back room today. They were playing give and take with the stuffed animals and peek-a-boo. They both get so tickled when they play together, just grinning from ear to ear and chuckling or squealing.
Kenzie and Thomas were stacking up the play orange juice cups the knocking them over so they made a big crash repeatedly. Aaron, Riley and Emily playing on the other side. As soon as Aaron heard the first crash, he went running over laughing, even though he couldn't see what was going on from where he was. If it is loud and rowdy sounding, he wants to be in on it! He is all boy! Emily, on the other hand, went over to tell them "Calm down, guys!" army and I cracked up!
