Liliana Rose has had a lot of "new" in her life lately. We moved, she has a new brother, and a new school. All things considered, she is doing pretty well and is a happy girl. But, there are definitely things going on in her behavior that have always been issues but have gotten much worse since the move. We started a behavior chart to focus on listening (she ignores rules), being kind to others (she has been really sassy and even mean to some people--mostly boys and men), and being happy (she throws tantrums when she doesn't get her way). When she fills her sticker chart up, she gets to choose a special adventure. For example, when she filled up her first chart she chose to go to the Hello Kitty store with Grandma and have a fancy lunch in San Francisco. But, where she really wants to go is, "London". We had to make the rule that it needs to be within driving distance.
She is obsessed with wearing clips all over her head. She spends about 15 minutes in the bathroom every morning clipping her hair with 10+ mismatched clips all over. The school secretary filled me in on the fact that an older girl at school has the same hairstyle and must have started a trend.
Liliana is really enjoying chapter books. We started by reading a couple books from the Junie B. Jones series in Capistrano Beach and have more recently read Charlotte's Web and Pippi Longstocking. She looks forward to the next chapter each night.
Her favorite characters right now are Eloise, Pippi Longstocking and Shirley Temple.
She is getting more coordinated! She can skip and ride her bike!! Huge break through!
She is making so many new friends and we are so proud of how social she is and pleased about all of the new connections she is making.
