Riley is the one who initially started this, but after the kids wash they frequently take the cloth and start cleaning the sink. So when Mia started doing it this morning I had to grab the camera!
Here's a picture of all the kids playing with the blocks. They built all of these towers and worked on them together and then were peeking through them at each other. Again, Riley is the one who initiated the tower building play. I just watched and encouraged Cooper and Mia to refrain from destroying it too soon! And they both listened very well! I love watching the 'child initiated play!'
During music time we were singing songs and one of the favorites is, "How much is that doggie in the window?" Well the doggie across the street always lays across the back of their couch so the kids automatically stand up and turn around and point at him as soon as we start the song. Today he was standing on the couch and they all started yelling at him to "sit down!!" Then we were singing our "Good Morning" song to each one and the mailman conveniently drove up, so we sang "Good morning" to him too!! And we always wave and say "Good Morning!" to whoever the song is directed toward. Mia frequently initiates the singing with the other kids too. It's very cute because she'll sit in my "spot" and Nora or Riley will sit on the window step.
Mia read lots of books this morning and enjoyed group story time too. She also played with the food toys and feeding her babies. If there is not a doll bottle in the toy set she'll just use one of the cups or whatever. They always find something to substitute for feeding their babies! Then she saw Cooper and Riley playing in the igloo so she moved the yellow bench across the entrance. :)
