Therapy Diary Entry 15

March 18, 2008
Today was a very hard day for Caibry. He was already awake when I got up. He was sitting at the kitchen table with a banana. When he saw me he started throwing a fit. He was mad that Nevie had a toy at the table. It's against family rules to bring toys to the table and he was very upset at her. Nevie never touched the toy and it wasn't bothering anyone else, but the simple presence of the toy angered him.
I told him that it wasn't bothering anyone, that she was eating good and he needed to too. He started screaming at her and destroyed his banana in a fit. He mutilated it into pieces and threw it all over the kitchen floor! When I told him to clean it up, he ground it in with his heel and said NO! Then he peed down his leg, smiling smugly while urine dripped onto the floor.
Daddy gave him a shower while I cleaned up. We were both really gritting our teeth.
As I put away the mop I realized the dogs had been left out in the rain. They realized it too and let the dogs in. Muddy dog prints went all over the kitchen floor!
I was all too happy to abandon the chaos and grocery shop.
The afternoon got a little better, but not much.
Listening sessions today were awful after only 5 minutes!
