Nutcracker. Have been thinking about you over the past couple of days and are wondering how it is going with your DD. How are you getting on babe?! How is it going?

[Clary]

Yes I was wondering about you too Nutty. Is no news good news?

Awww thankyou so much for asking.

We have had some good and some bad days so far. The beginning of the week was bad, sunday night she screamed at bedtime for around 2 hours and then woke again about 4am and started again.

She was stil also moaning about going into school, saying she felt sick, so I went in to see her teachers, who said that her behaviour in school is still absolutly fine, and that they couldn't think of anything in school to be causing a problem. They askd dd if she was worrid about anything at school and she said she wasn't.
They said they will I can go in at anytime though to discuss it with them which was nice of them.

The playing up on the way home was horrendos on monday and tuesday. I had to keep a hold of her all the way home because she kept going for dd1.
Tuesday was ever so slightly better.

Anyway, she was due to go back to rainbows last night and so I told her on the morning that if I had to ask her more than once to get off the climbing frame to go home, or that if she played up on the way home, she would not go.
Thankfully she listened and was an angel all the way home, and so she got a round of applause when we got in, and she went to rainbows.

She asked me this morning if we will all clap her again when we get in, and so I said if her behaviour was like yestrday then yes.

We also tried a sticker chart, but it got a bit complicated. It was one i'd done myself, but it wasn't really working, so I found one to order from a website which looks alot better and alot simpler. It should arrive soon, which sh is looking forward too.

Tommorow night will be a good test, as I will b off work and be putting her to bed. So far she hasn't playd up once when her dad puts her to bed, so I am a bit anxious as to wether she will kick off again when I do it, but fingers crossed she will be ok.

She wants me to book her a place at a football club, but I have told her I simply cannot do that yet so I am hoping this will encourage her to keep working at it.

Thanks again for asking
