Day 36

Day 36

1 Tbsp of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Cobram Estate extra virgin olive oil, COOC Seal)

1 Tsp of Now Brand Inulin 
1 pill of Now Brand DHA-500 Fish Oil

Much better morning.  I did get pinched when I told her no shorts. 

I added some oils on her food this morning.   I will also give her the full protocol after school. 

Here is the emails between her teacher and I this morning.

Monice woke up in a good mood.  She ate a good solid breakfast.  She was fine until I told her it was cold outside and she had to wear pants, and not her pink shorts she picked out of her dresser.  I got a angry breast squeeze and she conceded to the pants. (I did add the shorts to the backpack in case she decides to strip off her pants. 

I don't think this will be a lasting behavior, I do think this is more just a major frustration of everything change. The expectations, the weather, the clothes, the waking up earlier, everything all after what she probably felt as the perfect summer. 

This weekend, I will also take her to the store, and let HER pick out some pants she likes. There is a part of me that also thinks she is aging to the point of she doesn't want to be treated like a baby anymore.  Like she is challenging not because she is pissed, but wants more of a choice.  Almost like, Do you want to do Math or Art?  Easy choice for her, if she is given one, but just like home, she wants a choice.  

So tomorrow, instead of no choice on pants,  I will give her the choice of Navy pants or Pink Pants and see how that works.

Agreed!  We will continue to problem solve here and at home...here's to a great day...Peace be with all of us during this!!!
