The three days B. had school canceled this week due to the storm turned out to be perfect timing, because she was sick on Monday and then again part of Wednesday. I won't get into the gory details, but she had a lot of fun rhyming this new word she learned and came up with "fly-arrhea and ziarrhea." She was a great patient, very understanding about why she had to wear a pull-up and why she couldn't indulge in Halloween candy last night.
Speaking of last night, I have to say that handing out candy really brings out B's best. She had a blast giving candy to the 20 or so trick-or-treaters that came by last night and I was thrilled. You see, my girl, with all of her amazing strengths, does tend to be, how shall I say this gently, a bit self-focused, even for a 4-year old. She has a tendency to place her needs high above others and to emphasize how situations may affect her in a bad way, even if it helps others. Enough said. Anyway, any time she is able to put herself aside, take joy in the happiness of others, and feel great about giving vs. receiving, is a time for celebration in my book, and last night she these fabulously.
