This morning Rachel said "What are you doing?" when I got her up. I responded that I was getting her up for school and she said "No, you're not!" She kept repeating it all the way into the bathroom. She kept pausing and waiting for instructions all morning. I only had to tell her to get dressed (not specifically "put your shirt on") so she knew what she was doing, she just wouldn't do it without being prompted. Tired maybe?
Yesterday afternoon and evening were just the same as almost every other afternoon and evening. I remember when she was always upset and throwing temper tantrums and was very loud and difficult to deal with. I thought that was so hard and nothing could possibly be harder to handle. I was wrong. While we have more peace in our lives when she's quieter, my heart hurts. It feels like my baby has been taken away from me. There are times when she comes back for a bit, but mostly she just sits and doesn't talk. I wish I knew what to do.
