I find it interesting that you have so much trouble finding a good aide...and that the aides you find don't speak english. Here we gave respite (basically a babysitter provided by the state)...often they are young ladies who are going to college and need the money. But most of them are really very sweet and love kids with special needs. It is hard to find someone to stick around tho. Anyway I hope it all works out for you and M...and Sammi. =)evrfwdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827600561105558115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-28511363907708852332011-05-10T11:49:49.761-04:002011-05-10T11:49:49.761-04:00I can see Claire pulling stuff like this when she ...I can see Claire pulling stuff like this when she gets older, LOL.

My favorite was that they only clean their toys up if they got cookies. <br /><br />Maybe cookies are the issue, not our dear, precious little ones? :)Rob Monroehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15213481414668281312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-57239671365173247192011-05-05T20:56:30.265-04:002011-05-05T20:56:30.265-04:00if you need some spanish words so can M can unders...if you need some spanish words so can M can understand why what she do affects to Sammi let me know ok ? :)<br /><br />Elias' gret grandparent tend to let Elias do a lot of things he cant do when Im in the same room, or they tend to tell me its just a kid, let him do whatever he is doing. we know one time is enough for changing a good behavior. we had to stop almost daily visit to great grandparents because Elias was having major tantrums there!

Sometimes I truly believe that Lilly is the smartest person I know; the most manipulative; will be voted most likely to go into politics or be a lawyer. :)<br /><br />By the way, what kind of jeans is Sammi wearing? I can never find ones that fit Lilly well, because of her little belly and her short(ish) legs! Sometimes I buy capri jeans in a larger size to accommodate, but they still never seem comfortable on her...Cathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12043899235348974106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-87144619720407518122011-05-05T13:01:01.247-04:002011-05-05T13:01:01.247-04:00To Stephanie's point, usually Samantha just re...To Stephanie's point, usually Samantha just refuses, too, crossing her arms and saying (very emphatically), "No!"<br /><br />However, I think she has recently begun whining more, probably because she's seeing that it is working with M.
