Nov. 17th, 2011 10:25 amYesterday was my day to work. It kind of made me feel better that another kid went home early because he was just too fragile/wound up. At one point this kid and another were upset that there was only one Percy train with which to play. The thing is they weren't grabbing it from one another. They were both sobbing that there was just one. They didn't want anyone to touch it but they would roll around on the floor, great gnashing of teeth and many tears. "I WANT PERCY" "THERE IS ONLY ONE WHYYYYYYYY" Eventually the other kid who was upset found another train to drive on the track.
Senor Onion had a fairly good day and seems to do better if he is given a list of choices. It seems less overwhelming. He spent much of his time helping to make tortillas for snack. Then he went to the water table. The teacher made me feel better by pointing out that the other kids like him a lot and invite him to play with them. "He is a very sweet kid, it isn't like they are running from him -That is when you worry." I mentioned the whole issue with the difficult child last year so I think we sort of have a starting point for encouraging Senor Onion.
...
I did something in my sleep to my neck/shoulders. I suspect going out in the cold last night to the monthly parent meeting wasn't helpful. It isn't super bad. I just need to find a place to get a massage. I am also keeping the house nice and warm. Really I want to live in a sauna.
