She did much better this morning, and so did mommy.

She did cry and hug me tight, but it wasn't the desperate, save me from this place kind of thing. From a scale of 1-10, 10 being the worst yesterday, she gets a 4 today. Now she tried being so good, because I told her I would buy her her make-up, if she didn't cry. Should I just get it for her, because she did SO much better?

What was the deal? If she didn't cry. She cried. So what I would do is praise her for her great job today..give a hug. Then remind her, that when she's able to go to school without crying she'll get to pick out some "make-up".

I am a firm believer in sticking with my word on things like that. Of course, there are times when we "give in"...afterall we all need some "grace" sometimes. But the fact that she DID do better shows you that she is capable of it. So she'll probably be getting her "make up" soon!!!
keep your chin up!!!! you'll both be doing great in no time!!!

I am so happy she did better today. I'm not sure I would get her the make up since she did cry. Maybe give her a sticker for doing so much better and keep talking about getting the make up tomorrow if she doesn't cry. Then again pick and choose your battles.

One Happy...I'm sitting here looking at this thread going "awww" at whats been posted. My youngest is only 2 months old and I DO NOT WANT HIM TO GROW UP...EVER!

You posted: We then went to the store to get her some nail polish. She still wants to keep the heart and moon; we just added a flower.


I love this idea. Wow how neat, wish I'd have thought of this when my twin girls were younger; (they are almost 17.) I shared it with my S-I-L who has a 3 y.o. daughter and she loves it too. Darn, I wish I could do this but since he's a boy he might not be as pleased as your Little One's are. Tracy

Please don't do it!!! ...and thanks!

Maybe you could do it with your girls when they go away to college.

Today she wanted to add the sun. -- so she could remember Sunshine, her sister - that just melted my heart.


Brock- You are hereby being baptized "Jiminy Cricket"

Okay, so I went to get her at the playground and was able to see that she's interacting with the kids, pouring them some water from the water cooler, and seeming to be more herself -- what a relief!

She asked about the nail polish and I told her that if she didn't cry tomorrow when I drop her off, then we will go buy her make-up in the afternoon. She tried to convince me, but gave up after she realized that it wasn't happening.

Thanks everyone for keeping me strong!!!!!!

STRAWBERRY!! - She didn't even give me a kiss first, before she asked about her make-up. It was so good to see her proud of herself and seeing her sweet face as she decided which flavor make-up she wanted.



I'm so happy for my sweetie, and for me too, that was hard. So, yeah, Maricela I've stopped crying.

Isa- We're gonna miss the 2 of you!

Oh my gosh I missed this thread entirely. GO SWEETIE GO!!!! So happy that she is doing better, she is such an angel and I can't wait to see her again :-) and Sunshine is a rock star...but you knew that.
