OK so the first week is done and we have all survived. YEA us! There was a time I wasn’t sure we would. It might have been the first day and the argument over the stale donut. It might have been because if feels like I can’t take a restroom break some days without there being a major argument over something pointless (at least in my eyes). I must give JD credit he has been trying not to argue with his sister so much. I have let him know I appreciate it and I have noticed his efforts. It is probably why the arguments are happening when I leave the room.
Amanda, bless her heart, is going through a real period of anxiety. She has started freaking out if JD leaves his door open while they are waiting for me to get in the car and start it. I have taught JD since he was very young to leave a door open until I get the car started. Only now he is listening to Amanda complain because there are bugs outside. I am working to help her keep calm and enjoy summer but it is getting harder. I really wish I knew what was going through her mind. She has never been that afraid before and nothing that I know of has happened. I think she may be having a hard time because they will be starting summer camp soon.
