"It's Autumn time, It's Autumn time, the leaves are falling down!"
And we have a WHOLE lot of leaves falling down! So even the littlest help with the raking! Although we didn't have another rake so Bethany went and grabbed a broom! Funny little girl!
And of course fall means picking out the perfect pumpkin!
This week I was totally reminded of this clip from the little mermaid. Tabitha came home from school with a behavioral report card.-It is a new report card system the school has started. She got some really great comments and is doing well but when I got to her last comment I could not help but laugh and think of this clip.
"The one area Tabitha can improve on a little is the visibility with her body language when she is angered. She truly wears her feelings on the outside and we want to make sure that she remains collected when she does get irritated with any given situation."
Now, this comment made me not only laugh but it also made me proud. I thought, "Lady if you only knew how FAR this child has come." A year ago she would have not only given you body language but she would have also been yelling and screaming while doing so. She is finally at a place where she can huff and puff on the inside even if she is showing it on the outside -and that is HUGE in my house! Am I going to have her work on keeping herself "collected"? No. Because I think have her as "collected as she can ever get and I kind of like how I know by just looking at her what her mood is. There is no guessing with that one! And maybe we should all be a little more like that and "never underestimate the importance of BODY LANGUAGE! "
