Kallee and tears

Kallee and tears Those two words are synonymous right now in her life. Kallee is crying going to school getting picked up, when she is told to eat her veggies, when she is told to put on her PJ’s, or go to bed.. Tears start falling. Kallee and laughing and happy is also synonymous as she can still light up the room. But for the past two weeks she has been overly sensitive. Alison has noticed that Kallee is not yet accustomed to the new classroom yet and is a tearful mess when she is dropped off in the morning. She is also very angry at me when I am picking her up in the afternoon if I arrive before she wants me too. So she starts crying. Alison knows that Kallee truly is scared of her new classroom, but that is not the only place Kallee is still crying. She is insta tears all the time over the littlest things. I think that she has been coddled too much because she has learned to cry to get her way, so we have been butting heads pretty much every day for the past month. I need her to understand that she can still show her frustration with life without crying. She is a stubborn and tough individual that really thinks that she has the world down and wants her way all the time… or tears…… She has now successful gone #2 at school but is in a holding pattern everywhere else. I think in her mind the potty is losing some of its scariness. I really does frustrate and scare me on how fearful of the new my daughter is… she HATES being surprised or if things change without her permission. Kallee will miss out on so many things if she keeps up this fear of life, water, environment, or school, but one place she is not afraid to try new things is food… she is so willing to eat new things off her mother’s plate and that is very cool. (Side note, notice lack of daddy because his taste are weak and embarrassing). Kallee loves humus and sauces and dips and veggies and just having different things. She does not like eating foods more that once a week. So for that I am grateful. I am also grateful for Jayden because he is her interpreter and hero. If it was not for JJ, Kallee would not be as happy as she is today. Mommy thinks that part of Kallee’s loss of love for her school is the fact that JJ is not there, and I do agree. She is more comfortable in everything with her big brother around and he is so awesome to her. I know that Kallee will sometime, take to adapting quicker to what life has to offer… but until then the sounds you will hear in our house will be daddy ram butting heads with baby ram.
