Carmen went to school on Monday for three hours, and they said she had a good day (despite the fact that she was screaming and slashing like a wild animal when I left). Then she went back on Tuesday for three hours, and they said she had a fantastic day. So, it gets better and better. However, they did say she is very set in her ways and they could foresee a lot of trouble getting her to nap there. So, that is the big hurdle for tomorrow, to get her to sleep at her school. But I am so glad she enjoys herself after her initial meltdown when I leave! It makes the time that she's away much easier knowing that she isn't upset.
We have had a good week, with all illnesses finally over. The weather has been crisp but beautiful, so we took Carmen on a picnic at the park at Burrill Lake. She loves that park - she can feed the ducks there. However, she did consume a lot more of the bread that we brought than the ducks did. Her speech is improving every week, and she said her longest sentence today: "Carmie's pants keep fall down". They keep falling down because she lost weight with her gastro, and she is definitely a skinny minnie. Also, she is pretty much potty trained, during the day at least, with only a few accidents all week. I never knew it would be so easy!
