dyk last night Ellie was playing with the kids computer (it's on the floor disconnected) in the living room and she kept bringing parts to Sean -- the mouse, the keyboard, the mouse pad

dyk he looked at me clueless and asked me what in the world she was doing

dyk and we were laughing b/c that's so normal - I told him she's engaging you in what she's doing, seeking your help or attention

dyk that's new to us for this age -- Abi doesn't engage, never has, never brought us stuff or tried to include us in her play, and Dek was colicky until he was 5 so he was never more than a foot away crying or whining to need to seek our attention

dyk HA! Ha!

dyk maybe instead of flu shots --- I'll take the kids to the pumpkin patch here in town

dyk the prob when taking the older kids is that they then want to buy a pumpkin and the answer is no. LOL

dyk I made the sticker charts for the kids for the areas of "caught doing good" (same areas as the traffic light system) and through the day as I saw the kids doing good, I added stickers and for Abigail, I commented so she knew when she was doing something good

dyk for Dek I just put stickers and he saw his chart later and asked me what his obedience and manners stickers were for and I told him and his eyes got big and he goes (voice an octave higher than usual), "YOU SAW ME DOING THAT IN THE GARAGE? But you weren't IN the garage!!!"

dyk I just smiled. I see everything.

dyk Ellie is not going to be done napping by the time we go get Abigail -- so she'll go back down when we get back for about an hour or so until we go get Dek

dyk then she should be good until late afternoon when she often "rests" for another hour from 4-5
