The snow tunnels were very fun and Chandler cheered right up, once she saw them.
Forty-Seven Months Fun Fact:
- Variable: The kid's moods can change lightning fast. On the snow tunnel day, Chandler was completely miserable, and then completely ready to play as soon as she saw the tunnels. She jumped in without a moment's hesitation. She spent the week preceding her field trip to the aquarium worried about sharks escaping their tank. The morning of the field trip, she worried about the sharks all the way to school, but as soon as she saw her teacher, she took her teacher's hand and marched into school without a whimper. Chandler used a baby's bottle for almost five years. I eventually asked her to stop, and she was ready to give it up in forty-eight hours. The hair twirling has been much more intractable, but we're trying to address it with more physical play to get anxiety out and sensory input. Neither may be the right track, but doing nothing certainly wasn't fixing the problem either. We persevere, as gently as possible!
