Saturday Saturday...

Today we have Music class.  The goal of is to work on focus and social emotional growth, but the other children are very different from the strong willed wonder.  Kids on the spectrum & w/downs syndrome and that sort of thing.  The teacher said this class would be the best fit for her, but I'm not in agreement.  It's also on Saturday which is the worst day for it.  I guess I think that she'll probably copy what the other kids are doing and I don't want her to copy behaviors that are less than she is currently doing right now.  Anyway, this is our 2nd time trying, I've discussed it w/her behavior therapist, who suggested I try other ways to help strengthen her social emotion growth and focusing issues.  She suggested church (we'll go after Disney which is next week), I signed her up for library pre-schooler story time (free :-) ), and a class at the Y (paid for by my parents)...tumble time.  The issue is that she has a social/emotional delay, BUT she is VERY smart and she is VERY strong willed.  I love that she's older now and I can actually reason with her more because she is so smart.  She might get pissed, but she thinks about what I say and usually comes around.  Anywa, she is not au.tistic in any way, the dr didn't throw out a.dhd, but she said she was too young to diagnose that. I have also picked out a karate class for her, but I'm waiting to see how everything else I lined up goes first.
