A few moments to myself

Kate is in the shower, again, singing.  Really.  So I will blog a little.  She just said how she LOVES the water running down over her head and we were talking about when she HATED water.  We were laughing about it and she couldn't believe that she felt that way.  It was cool.  She even asked why she felt that way!!  I told her I had no idea, haha.

Yesterday was a challenging day.  I learned alot though and have a new resolve to keep things positive.  My sweet Kate is so scared of things sometimes and I know the only way to get through it is to support her and show I love her.  Easier said than done, but today I was/am in a much more centered place and it really helped the mood of the day. 

I have been stressing about not getting all the exercises done.  And today I just let it flow.  We did primitives 2 times and no core, but I am ok with it.  It seems one of the Brain Balance songs is bringing negative energy, so I played different music during exercises and both times Kate was more cooperative.  I am thinking of some other ways to make them more fun, or new incentives to do right after. 

I went to the grocery store while Kate was at her session.  I am kicking myself now for not getting some kind of treat.  Oh well.  At least I got ingredients to make macaroons, but no parchment paper.  Maybe tomorrow.  It was nice to get some shopping done so we just had to go to Costco to get avocados and blueberries.  She is doing well at taking her B vitamins and juice plus in avocado-blueberry pudding.  She takes the yeast supp in almond butter.  Hopefully soon she will be able to swallow those capsules, still working on that!

It was fun to see Kate playing with the kids at BB while I chatted with the moms.  She was being a witch and chasing a younger friend.  It is the only time she gets to be around other kids and the only time I get to be with other adults, for the most part.  I am going to try to get us out to the playground more, we always seem to run out of time if the exercises don't go smoothly.

Daily I am reminded of the Son-Rise program and how it has been so helpful in bringing a new way of looking at things.  I am really grateful for that training and I am wanting to re-read the book "Happiness is a choice".  I need a refresher so I can practice the Son-Rise attitude with more gusto.  It really is all about attitude for me.  And I am the model for Kate so I'd better do my best at being positive.

Ps.  Kate wore a new pair of pants today.  Not fuzzy fleece, but tie-dye tighter fitting pants.  And she tried on a few pairs of shorts, tie-dye and light blue.  Trying to transition to summer clothes before it gets blazing hot!
