Joy’s Week

Simply delighted

Playing at the Family Fun Night

 

 

What is it about fruit snacks?  Joy adores them!

Our scratching update:  School has asked that she wears gloves on her hands till she stops the scratching.  I hope that’ll help.

Joy’s Family Tree

made today in preschool- I love it!

Sweet Joy

Love this!  Joy’s favorite thing to do in Speech is “Ring A Round A Rosie.”  Bella was in the room, so she insisted we include Bell.  She pushed her chair and the therapist and I completed the circle.  Very cute!

 

Just love these two pictures – what a big girl, working so hard.

Joy has decided that Blue’s Clues is amazing!  She loves Steve!  And she has made up a sign for “Blue’s Clues” – two fists out in front, open and close in rapid succession.

We are having a little struggle with Joy.  When she gets overly tired or over-stimulated, she scratches and it really hurts!  She usually draws blood.  Usually it only happens at home, but she got a little boy at school today.  Nothing that I’ve tried so far has helped her understand that she is hurting people.  We’ve tried talking, explaining, using a mean voice to say NO!, time out – but when she’s tired or over stimmed, she’s not thinking -  just reacting to these crazy feelings in her body.  Have to figure this out – and hopefully quick!

  I have entitled this one “Part!”  I think she looks just like I envision Moses :)

Love my happy girl!

 

When she’s not at school….

She’s enjoying TV or she’s dancing….

First Day of School

It went really, really well!  She was adorable!  She only cried for a minute when we left her.  She had a great day!
