The past couple of days have been a little rough, I'm not sure why. We started a little later in the day, that is usually an issue. She said she was sad today and wanted to be sad. I was patient and tried to talk her through it. I told her sometimes it's good to be sad to be able to get over what is making us sad. We have to get through the sad so we can be happy again. I told her if we talked about what was making her sad, maybe I could do something about it and make her happy again. I was shocked when she opened up about her pre-school teacher and the boy who misbehaved. She gets very upset when she sees someone else get punished. She also gets very sad when someone corrects her, she shuts herself right down. She takes it all personally. I don't know what this teacher said to her, but from what I learned from the teacher herself, it wasn't good. She had the victim share equal blame with the perpetrator. I think this contributed to her self esteem issues. I keep hearing her teachers words over and over again, "I hope too much damage hasn't been done." The pre-school is still sending me a bill for the last month of school when she didn't go there anymore. I want to send them our therapist bill and ask them to pay that because her going there contributed to her needing a therapist. I wonder what they would say about that.
Today after NR, she was playing baby with her sister again and telling me to help. It's very strange that she cries a specific cry, one that sounds like a tiny baby. She cries and then give that little cough sounding noise that babies make when they've cried themselves hysterical. She has always been disturbed by babies crying and finally was able to tell me that it was because of the babies in the orphanage. I asked why they cried and she said because they were hungry. I think it's great that she is willing to act this out through play.
I forgot to mention, she still sees her bubbles everytime she yawns. She almost always yawns during her fetals, but very seldom at any other times. Also, we used to have the teeth grinding during the fetal cross/measure, but now it starts during startle.
