Okay, school is finally back in session (yay!); also, we are picking up Princess in a few minutes to go to the third session with our new therapist. This one will involve, apparently, video recording. Not sure how to anticipate this.
But first, a few quick things to write down before time recedes further.
Over the course of two weeks spring break, the behavior patterns of Princess and Little Sister remained firm, at least in regards with me. By which I mean, Princess spent much of the time avoiding me, staying in her room, on the computer, watching tv....or playing with her sister. Often when I entered the room, the words commonly expressed were variations of "go away dad."
Little Sister, on the other hand, when she wasn't playing with Princess, would often want to spend time with me, reading, snuggling, playing "school." More than Princess at her age.
Anyways, one of the things Princess when she was alone in her room was to go out of her room, into the garage, and rummage around (as described earlier)....Last night when I went to do laundry, I found the detergent, and softener, the Clorox 2 stainremover, the bleach, the Shout -- all gone. All containers empty and poured out.
Why does she do this? How common is such behavior?
Also, she had a little tantrum, wanting to take all the bag of apples and put them in our blue ceramic bowl, which is cracked, and which was a wedding gift. Wrestling with her over the bowl without trying to break it further. We gave her one apple; she responded by giving a rather spectacular demonstration of what happens when you throw an red delicious apple as hard as you can on a bamboo floor (sorry, no video). Apple explosion.
OTOH, she was funny and goofy and endearing at her weekly visit with her birth mom at the local jail ..... She had just seen Star Wars or something, and kept saying "May the force be with you" and doing big Darth Vader breaths. Little Sister of course picked up on this.
