18Sept2008: Day 116: Are you alright?

We were able to get off to the playgroup today and took Hannah and her sister Bethany. Hannah really enjoyed it. She walked around looking for kids to play with while Makenna just clinged to me. Hannah is quite the singer. You can hear her in the backseat singing away. Makenna did okay. She wanted to be carried most of the time until I finally put her down and either let her lay on the floor or she'd get up.

Speaking of the floor, Makenna has this thing when she's trying to get attention, or get out of trouble, where she'll splay herself out on the floor and say "are you alright?" She keeps asking until one of us either repeats "are you alright?" or says, "I'm glad you're alright". If it's when she's in trouble (usually on the naughty step where she'll then splay herself out), I try and ignore her. It is funny and cute to see what she does to try and get my attention diverted.

Tonight she went into the kitchen and I followed figuring she was going to get into something and she said, "come on kemma", as she knew that's what I was going to say. Plus, we just got off the phone with Grandma Jones, and grandma said, "I miss you to Makenna" and Makenna said it back! That was the first time I heard her say that. Now if we could only get her to say "I love you."
