I started teaching the kiddos a couple of new songs that we haven't sang with this group before. One of them was the "Chin-Up" song from Charlotte's Web. Alayna really liked it and wanted me to sing it over and over.
We were talking about Tucker the Turtle today for quite a while and what he does when he is angry about something. The steps are 1) Stop what your doing, 2) Keep your hands, feet and screaming to yourself, 3) take three deep breaths and 4) think of a good choice. They really don't the whole concept, but I have noticed that it seems to help when I remind them to "think like Tucker the Turtle". We have a stuffed turtle that we say is our Tucker the Turtle and when I am talking to them about it, I use him as a prop. : )
Alayna seems to be more interested and motivated in the potty training arena than I have seen her yet. She has been doing very well the last few days... : )
