Potluck with Delfina

Sunrise Sept 10

Leilani is in a really bad mood. She hardly ever smiles, and is unsocial with other children, grabbing things and refusing to play with them (she still plays nicely with their toys…). She does not talk on the phone, neither to Andy nor to her friend Raya. I feel sorry for her and cut her a lot of slack, but she still throws horrible tantrums, and seems to be generally on strike – mainly a I’ll-waste-mommy’s-time strike. Today it took us more than 2 hours from her getting up (breakfast was on the table already, the breakfast I had picked out that is… not the beets with ravioli which she ultimately ate) to getting into the car to go to Joys… yesterday was not much better. We arrived at Tutu and Me at 9am.

Snacktime. Children learn to pour liquids and eat very nicely with spoons.

Leilani is figuring our a 7 piece stacking puzzle

She really likes to glue and make crafts

Here she is doing more puzzle, first one is probably for the 1 year olds but she really likes to do easy things. The other one is hard, because it involves quarters versus thirds of a circle, and this is the first time that I saw Leilani do this one fast – less than one minute.

Cleanup and tumbling on the floor

After that it’s story time:

And then we hug the aunties!
