- Tantrums: Kind of a daily deal. They usually consist of bouts of screaming, a head butt to the floor, and/or biting whatever is closet to her - a chair leg, MY leg, MY face, the table, you name it. We try to ignore her and actually started to burst out laughing tonight because she looks so ridiculous. That required me to tell Brian to stop laughing and both of us covering our mouths so that she didn't see our reaction.
- Her way, and only her way: Tonight, while in her PJ's, she insisted to put her coat on. Whatever, I put it on her. She then started screaming. We ignored her. Then she walked over to me (yes, walked over!!) and gave me her shoes. "No Ella, we're not going anywhere," I said and quickly distracted her by taking her to her coupe to play in.
She's exhausting!!! Oh, and her teachers told us this morning how they love her personality and how she defends herself (aka pushing or biting her teachers/friends) and makes decisions but that we have to work on the biting and tell her "Ouch, that hurts" when she does so. THEN, on her daily report it says:
"When it was time for circle time, Cecilia tried to make Ella more comfortable and helped her find her spot. Ella didn't like that because she loved to make decisions of what to do and where to sit and bit Cecilia on arm."
By the way, Cecilia is one of the older ones of the class and Ella bit her! On the way home, I told Brian Ella's going to be kicked out of school and I'm going to be out of a job!
Wearing her coat...because she insisted - 4/26/2010
