AG and JC have not been getting along for the past week. They just can’t seem to keep their hands (and feet) away from each other and picking on each other. I talked to A’s mom, and she thinks that the conflict might stem from jealousy issues over a common friend. The last couple of days, A has said some pretty mean things to J and hit her at least once. Today, she broke a crayon and said that’s what she wanted to do to J. When I try to talk her to about her rudeness, she says she doesn’t care.
Also today, JC was completely out of control, worse than the previous two days. She could not stay in one place for more than 5 or 10 seconds. She kept running about and flailing and kicking and yelling. And she would talk back to A. It was just too much so we called her parents in order to send her home, and then she cried for 10 minutes straight. She reported that someone told her she was annoying (A?) and it had obviously hurt her feelings, but my only response (which I of course refrained from saying out loud) was to agree: yes, you were really annoying today. Instead I just sighed and hugged her.
And now Cindy is rearranging the rooms again and taking all the younger kids (except E!) and giving me the older ones. It might be easier for me, but…I like the little ones even though they’re challenging. She didn’t ask me if I had any ideas or feelings about it. I want to have a conversation with A and J to help them deal with what’s going on between them, but now they’re both going to be in Cindy’s room…Hope she has fun with them! Ha. Ha.
