Amy has been kind of funny the past two days or so. She keeps flip flopping between "old" behaviors and "new" behaviors.
She went to her appointment without fuss yesterday morning (even though she was late for school). She didn't want to get to her chair, and has to be cajoled every time, but the Good Doc pointed out that she needs time to warm up a bit. He was very patient. (Me, not so much, but I'm learning!)
Amy kept asking about how late to school she would be. I kept reassuring her that it would only be an hour, and that we have gotten the ok from her teacher, and that it will be ok. No panic fits, just repeated concern. As we were driving away she realized that she left her library book in the doctor's office. She got very upset, but calmed down pretty quickly.
She just seems to be developing a better perspective on problems. Hooray!
After school she came home and crashed on the couch as usual. We drove to the Noodle place, because I wanted to see how she would do at a restaurant, and because her dad just got back from being out of town for a few days.
And because I didn't feel like cooking...
Anyway, she screamed at Gwyn and Micah for being too loud in the car. She kept saying she was trying to take a nap and that she was really tired. Very grumpy.
Once we got some food in her, though, she cheered up and was <mostly> pleasant the rest of the night. She did her homework quickly and then she and Gwyn decided to play "Dance Class" and she taught Gwyn and Milo the grapevine step. They weren't too happy with her bossiness, but from what I can hear, Amy was behaving gently towards them (even if she was being bossy).
She's trying!
