It hit me today... we are a family of girls and all the emotions that can bring. Elizabeth was having a great morning at daycare and then bang she hit the wall and crumbled into a pile of emotions.
On the way home I tried to find out more and see if she wanted to talk. It came down to Elizabeth saying Ella was ignoring her at daycare and that Su*i (daycare friend) told Ella she didn't have to listen to Elizabeth and the tears were flowing again. She said Ella didn't say she was sorry for ignoring her. That got even keeled Ella crying and saying I did too say sorry mimi over and over.
At this point I pulled over so we could talk and I even had a moment where I felt like crying.
Elizabeth got it under control first and it took Ella a long time.
We had something to eat and went to Gymnastics. Ella brought the portable dvd player and was fine. Elizabeth was running and skipping in to the gym. And two of her coaches came out to say they wanted to have her skip one or two levels. They went on to say that Elizabeth has a natural talent and is really good. So, they let her try out with the level 4 girls. They are pre team and 8-9 years old. I was fine with it but did explain that Elizabeth was very tired. She did great and wants to move up. It looks like she will be in another level in the fall. The bummer is its two nights a week 2 hours each.
Lots of thoughts are running through my mind.... school, home work, fun, my work hours, trying to juggle it all and be fair to Ella, daycare hours, driving alot and having to eat on the run... I have time to think about it and the school is open to working with me on the hours and Elizabeth wants to do it. She is learning so much and teaching Ella.
Now they are both asleep after being nice to each other all night.
I am very glad we are off work and daycare tomorrow. Time for all of us to get some rest.
But, I also want to wish my nephew Josh a Happy Birthday!!! Hope you had a fun day.
