I always heard "parenting doesn't come with a handbook" and boy is that right! Sometimes I do wish that Supernanny would come pay us a visit though.
Today Amelia got in trouble at school for scratching one of the other kids--unprovoked. Nothing like having to sign THE form when you get to school. I certainly don't want my kid to be THAT kid.
A while back the daycare director told me that there was no need to get onto her when I pick her up because they do it at school and she really doesn't remember what happened or why. But I feel like I should be reprimanding her for doing that.
Then there's the trying to figure out why she's acting out. Was something said? Is she tired? She had been up since 3:30am but that's just not excuse enough to me. Has something different happened this week? I just don't know. Maybe it is just a bad week, I know that I have them.
Someone told me a few days ago that 4 is the ferocious 4's, it's a test for the teen years. I am so not ready for this!
I have noticed that she doesn't do one on one play well around me, though she seems to do good at school. Well, normally. Maybe it's the only child syndrome.
Until I find that handbook it will just have to be a guessing game and I'll do the best I can. But please if you see us out, know that it's not easy and I'm just tying to love my girl as best I can.
