Dorothy loves activity books. We do some activities and skip others which require spelling. Dorothy asked, "So what is spelling all about?"
Dorothy put 10 hairclips in her hair but had to use a mirror to see them. She then said, "If only my arm hair was longer, I could put clips in it and look at them."
Lately Dorothy's fits are frequent and powerful. Her thoughts are totally transparent, though. She'll scream, "I want to do what I want to do!" Or "Come here so I can hit you!" During her meltdown at the zoo, she asked for her sippy cup so she could throw it. She asked for it again. I said, "Are you going to drink from your cup? What are you going to do with it?" and she screamed back, "Give it to me! I'll show you!"
