Gee it was hot today! I wonder if that was a factor in Kaylia's day? I'm told that she was a bit 'flat' at school today .... I wonder if it was the heat or was it her lack of sleep? She was up at around 3am this morning .... it was elephant time at the zoo as the little feet pounded round her room! Poor Naomi! It was her turn for downstairs sleeping ....Eating has certainly slowed .... she has gone right off food during the day .... she eats a good meal at night. The scales are not showing the desired result yet but I guess it must happen sometime.When watching the wonderful energy of the Team-Kaylee members, I sometimes feel guilty that I'm not doing such things with Kaylia .... then I remember that Naomi & I are the marathon runners compared with the sprinters who are with us for a short while. We have had years already and we must deal with Kaylia for years to come ..... while our wonderful au-pairs are only here for a short time ... and they can afford to burn lots of energy with Kaylia.
Morning relaxing .... Kaylee is ready for school and she's watching 'Telly Tubbies' ... so we do too! And she flops all over us. It's a lovely time.The anxiety has receded and Kaylia is very happy again. In hindsight, the past few days have been quite stressful for us all ..... Kaylia's anxiety makes us all anxious as we try to work out the cause and a solution.Zoe has settled in well and she is already making a strong contribution to the team. It is fascination to watch the effect that a different approach brings ..... each of the past team members has made a contribution to Kaylia's development .... the way that everyone tackles the issues is quite different. Not right or wrong .... different. Kaylia learns something from everyone and we are so fortunate to be able to share Kaylia with you all.
Today has been interesting! It started good .... went pear-shaped .... then recovered!Kaylia's routines have been upset over the past couple of days by several separate issues that have all combined to send her anxiety levels way too high ... she has been unable to control or recover. She started today with a visit to her favorite aunty (Maxine) but after 30 minutes she was very upset .... so it was into the car for a long drive. This calmed her ..... but when we arrived home her anxiety went very high again and she couldn't recover.I decided that an extra dose of Lovan was warranted .... with 30 minutes she was visibly calmer .... and after an hour she was able to lie down and rest. It's a good lesson.- Posted by the Kaylee Blogger
