my abby is still the same way if people argue. she thinks its the funnyest

thing. i will even play argue just to make her laugh (such as lines from a

movie, still a thing she likes to do).

That is interesting. I never thought that she might be enjoying the sounds

and the reaction. He usually just cries, although sometimes he fights back

too. Then the moments when she is finially being nice he goes after her and

the process starts anew.

My big excitement of the day, is that Arden has 2 loose teeth! For a week

or so she has been saying " look at my teeth " . She sucks her thumb so I

thought she was talking about that again, since I told her she was going to

get funny teeth. But they just kept looking worse and worse so while I was

laying in bed this morning I reached over and felt them, and they are both

really loose! I was so surprised, I just didn't expect it. What an

emotional thing. I found myself with tears in my eyes. She is on the cusp

of her elementry days, and passing this time goodbye. Many days I wonder if

I am going to be able to perservere through all this and then such a moment

of utter tenderness. Such a dicotomy. wishing she would grow up and out of

some of these phases and then wishing it would never end.

We had a student who liked the negative reaction that he got when he behaved

inappropriately so he would act out to get the reaction. If we didn't respond

the way he wanted the behavior would escalate to the point where we had to

respond for safety reasons (his, ours and the rest of the students). So we each

recorded a tape of us with the negative responses on one side and positive

responses on the other. Parents did it too and sent it in. And through out the

day we gave him breaks to listen to a tape (so he could get the response without

acting out). He could choose who he wanted to hear and which side. Eventually

he was choosing the positive side over the negative and this year doesn't even

want the tapes.

LOL. Welcome to parenthood. I know the feeling well.
