Update to yesterday's post

I made a real effort to be patient and give lots of praise and encouragement to Ashley today.  Result:  she was very cooperative and prepared herself for school.  On top of that, she went in to school all by herself and even gave me a good-bye hug.  When I offered to accompany her into the school, she even told me no need, she'll go in herself.

Oh, I hope it'll be like this everyday...  I must constantly remind myself that praise and encouragement is the key!!!

By the way, here's Ashley with her balloon...
