That’s a good reason to post! I can do that. It may not be too long because typing is hard at this angle. I do want some kind of documentation of the fact that after about two weeks of really hard, nearly nightmarish behavior from Shanna she has leveled up in terms of manners and interpersonal behavior. When she wants something from Calli she has said, “This is not my favorite! Calli, will you please share?” Then she waited till Calli dropped it and reached for a new toy. When asking for something from us she spontaneously says please way more often. It’s amazing. Yay! However the difficult behavior isn’t going away. Man are her emotions SO BIG right now. Her sandwich being cut wrong can result in a puddle of sobbing on the floor. I spend a lot of time sighing and asking her how I can be supportive. This will pass too. 🙂
Awww. Big emotions. Been there. Visit far too often.
Requesting stuff from Calli is cute!
I don’t much post or reply these days, but I do very much enjoy reading these updates and what’s going on with (you &) your family when I get a chance! *love* to you and yours.
One time we cut Laura’s hamburger in half and she had a major meltdown. I can not say that it will pass all that soon because we still have meltdowns over food and she is almost 10.

btw – I do like hearing about your children.
