Another Accomplishment

This past weekend, we went to the science center with another family. S loved it, we have to go back for sure. S asked to go into a hurricane wind simulator. She has always hated everything involved with what she was about to experience. Wind, fans, and motor sounds-all on the most feared list. She didn't love it, but she didn't want to do it again. She wasn't in a panic to get out of it. She calmly walked away and went on to something else. To use her words, I was "impressed, proud and big happy" with her. We had at least one more crying incident. This one came on much faster, she was able to turn it into a cry very fast. Then-it was over and all was good again. I think she is getting the hang of it. Her 10 year old cousin is staying with us and she is having a hard time with it. She adores her and is obsessed with her, but she is a little boss monster. She wants to control what goes on and it is really difficult. I'm going to post on the attach group for some advice. This isn't the first time she has been bossy. I know that she has a need for control because of her beginnings, but I also need to know how to deal with it. We have less than a week before her re-eval.
