solos and skittles

Another tired, quiet morning. She said "no" a couple of times, and that's about it. I had to remind her that she was getting dressed once or twice, but she didn't seem to have any difficulty remembering how to do it or where things went, which was nice. I let her sleep as long as possible, so there wasn't very much time to observe her (except that she looks absolutely adorable in her bright pink turtleneck sweater).

Last night was the closing night of the play, so we went again. She seemed happier last night, and didn't get quite so upset at people, but still wasn't interested in talking to any of the friends who came over to talk with her. I was well armed to pop something in her mouth if needed, but mostly she was quiet. Until "the solo." I need to remember that she won't sing with M&Ms in her mouth, but skittles don't have quite the same effect. She ended up with a mouthful, and she was still trying to sing. I suppose it's possible that it was just that she was aware it was coming this time, and was determined to participate. I'm really torn, too, because I am so completely pleased that it affected her in that way, but trying to be a conscientious audience member and keep her quiet. I think we'll have to rent the movie and see if it has the same effect on her. It was an awesome evening and we came home and popped her right in bed, so it wasn't too late.

I failed to mention that Tuesday evening she kept telling everyone that they were rude. I am so totally grateful for people who continue to come and talk to her and love her even when she is so cold and prickly. I really hope she makes up for it when she's in a better mood. I know she does at home, but I don't know if she does at school. It makes me feel so good to know that there are so many people out there who love my little girl, cold pricklies and all.
