I have been so reassuring and soothing and told her even if it happens again, that it's no big deal. I don't know how much of that she understands. TCG had to get in the tub with her last night, because she really is too strong, and it was the only way we could get her in the tub at all. I just bought her a doll that comes with it's own tub om amazon that she can play with. I'm hoping it will help when it arrives. We feel awful like we traumatized her for life.
See, in my fantasy, when I'm kissing you... you're kissing me. It's okay. I can wait.

Because books.
No trauma, sj, I promise. It'll pass eventually. Doing a different kind of bath, like Suzi did, might help in the meantime.

Thrive to spite them
She'll be ok. I've noticed with my nephew when he's going through a development he gets more emotional. Even just school ending but it wasn't dramatic as last year. But he'll be 9 in August and I think there is another spurt of growth (not physical as much as everything else).

Tyler was traumatized by grass at that age. And sand. Screeching, full body meltdown.
He's now seriously in love with playing baseball. Safe to say he got over it.
Their neurons are making new links, sometimes the pathways get crossed.
(I was in swimming lessons since age 1. Round about 3, I one day developed terrors, swam across the pool, got into my car seat and couldn't be budged. It took another 2 years to get me back into the water, and then I was fine.)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's certainly in better repair than the Italian village or Scottish island we've considered.

Looks great msbelle, but it better come with a staff, because none of us are keeping it clean!!
I ordered a new computer online and my credit card texted me to be like "is this fraud? It seems like fraud..."

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
For those of you watching the Tonys, those bottle walls behind Christine and Patty? That's what my crew installed 1/2 mile of LED tape in last year.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Mom is being released from the hospital today. She's just zipping along in terms of general recovery. She has to be unbelievably careful of the incision until it heals -- the amount of precautions she has to take is enormous -- but she's already taking small walks at a fairly decent pace (a moderate stroll, let's say) with someone keeping her steady. And doesn't have any pain. How wild is that???
