Man, I should just keep a mood chart or something, because I feel like recording my roller coaster moods on here is exhausting to read through. Today was tough though, because Ollie peed herself over, and over, and over today. It was infuriating. I cried. I felt like spanking her. I didn't go that far, but the whole potty thing has started to become negative and no good. The more mad I get, the worse she does. It's almost like her going potty is a favor to me and when she's mad at me, she doesn't feel like doing me any favors. What is supposed to happen is the whole thing should be led by her desire to do it. So there's a disconnect happening right now, for sure. I ran to Target tonight and grabbed stuff to make a sticker chart and bought some "prizes". I'm really hoping to start tomorrow on the right foot and that some positivity and some incentives will get her back on track. Praying, praying, praying!
I took Jonas to his Arrow orientation tonight and that was pretty exciting. He's a little bummed because his two best friends are in a class together without him, and then three other friends are in another class together without him. He doesn't know anyone in his class and his teacher seems like the most boring of the four Arrow teachers. She doesn't have a class pet, or cool instruments, or couches, or ANYTHING fun, like all the other teachers have! Anyway, he's excited for the new school year, but there are things that are making him sad about it too.
