Av went to school in the morning. It was her second day of school. The first day she went all day to after care bc I work on Thursdays. Then I picked her up and took her to hbr like I had been doing all summer from Cornerstone. It all went great. She had a good day and was very excited. She took a small catnap in the car on the way out to hbr. She never does that but whatever. So Friday Camille and I pick her up at noon and head to the park to play and eat our lunches. Something we do a lot. Went home for quiet time/nap time at 2. Spent till about 4 doing quiet time so I thought she had a pretty good rest. Guess not. That night we had planned to go eat dinner with friends and then head to an out door concert. It was about 7:30 and we had just got to the concert. All our friends were there and the girls were having a ball dancing with their friends. One of Av’s Cornerstone friends was there and I was excited to see them getting to remain friends. All the sudden Av bumped heads with a little boy and she lost it. It hurt I’m sure but she could not pull it back together. She cried and cried and cried. We tried to go back and have fun but she just could not. My first clue that she was over tired when she wanted to go home and to bed over staying and playing with her friends and getting ice cream afterwards. I was so sad/mad/disappointed. I didn’t want to go home, all our friends were there having fun. To top it off I had to go home alone bc it was John’s night to go out and he had plans. At that moment I could not rationalize that Av had had 2 big days and was just tired. To me she was being different than all the other kids and of course that was/is bc of the chromosome and I just didn’t handle it well. I blame the prego hormones for that. I cried the whole way home and for the rest of the night after that. Hehehehe I know she was tired though bc I brought her straight home and put her straight to bed without the usual books and playing in her room we do. She was sound asleep by 8. Crazy. It's really hard being a parent sometimes.
