We are all alive here. Barely. The Christmas holiday was rough. Or the wait to Christmas and the adjustment back to school was rough. Olivia's defiant behavior is cooling down a little. Although that seems to be because of the new worker in the house and easier spelling words to study for for homework.
So Olivia is in the"honeymoon"period with the new worker. Which is great for me and the rest of us because she's doing her best and acting her best . I figure I've got another week of pretty good behavior before she goes back to her 'real' self. Of course next week will bring new spelling words so....
As for the school and the EYS I've still heard nothing. I sent an email last week to everyone in the school and got no response. I received an email from Olivia 's reg ed and special ed teacher this past Monday Olivia is getting sassy and misbehaving in the regular classroom now. I motioned the EYS in my response and was told that she would ask the special education supervisor, who,'d I'd already emailed. I will be trying again on Monday. As well as the superintendent.
So her behavior at school is of course unacceptable. She wrote the mom mandatory letters of apology to both teachers. And I warned her that the next email or note I get from a teacher regarding bad behavior was going to lose her girl scouts for a month. because her behaviour was not the kind of thing a good girl scout would do. That evening was girl scouts we went and the rest of the girls were out of control so all the girls lost their snack that night. My poor Olivia was devastated she loves everything about girl scouts including the snack. It 's a treat for her to have a mini dessert before bed. She held back the tears until the did their "Girl Scout Spin Out" closing.
On the way home after she calmed down I managed to tie-in the behavior of the girls and her behavior at school and how important good behavior is. OH! I was so proud of myself. I think she understood to. At least at that moment.
She had a couple of breakdowns this morning. One over having breakfast upstairs which is very odd we never eat upstairs and I have no idea where this came from. She just started screaming and crying over wanting to eat up stairs. And she was unable to explain it to me being so upset.

In February we have an appointment with a behavioral specialist who can hopefully help us out with Olivia's defiance. And I know they aren't going to see it because she loves going to doctors and meeting new people. but hopefully they can uncover something before I have to take her to a neurologist and have her head examined. Literally.
Hopefully, I'll have better stories to tell next time.....but i doubt it.
