Day 7

Last night, S woke up again. She was crying, and her eyes looked closed. It might have been a night terror, but she wasn't inconsolable for long. She let me rock her for a minute but turned to have her back to my chest. We rocked like that for a while and then she turned to face me. She stayed asleep when I put her in her bed. This is very unusual for her. She is such a good sleeper, this is disturbing.
She has been more emotional this past week. I don't like it, and I'm sure neither does she. We're not getting our full regimen in each day, but it's obvious it's enough to make changes. I guess if it's because of the therapy, then it's good to get it all out while she's still young, but if it's involving emotions and she can't talk about it, that has to be really hard for her. I hate to see her unhappy, she is always so pleasant and fun to be around.
She had a little play date today and she was so actively engaged with the kids. This is how she usually is, she love to be around other kids. I think she plays really well for her age. She interacts like a child much older.
She is a little more in need of comforting, which is good, I think. Maybe she is experiencing feelings she doesn't understand, but knows she needs to be held and comforted. This is good for her attachment, but it's difficult to see her not feeling herself.
