A little improvement...

Who would have thought I'd be happy she's "just pinching"??? :-)

Okay so today has gone a little better, Brenda wrote and said, "The morning with little miss Eva has gone pretty good. Just a few pinches here and there when she gets mad about something. I've been reminding her when she gets mad or doesn't get her way to be nice and not to bite. So far it has worked. She cracks me up. When she realized that Jarod was up she went upstairs to see him. She has done this everyday this week. She goes in his room and tries talking to him about stuff and points downstairs. It cracks him up.

Eva was bad yesterday! She bit Mollie really hard (yesterday). She still has a ring on her leg. I apologized to her mom and apologized again today and told her I would try as hard as I could (whether that meant keeping Eva with me at all times) for her not to get bitten again. She just said "I appreciate that". She said it's not so much the fact of the biting b/c she knows some kids go through it, but the fact that Mollie is getting hurt and she can't do anything about it. But so far today NO BITING!! She has been hanging out with Breanna alot. and she loves that!!"

Eva on the attack again...

Oh wow, what do I do w/ Ms. Eva??? She was doing so well not biting, but it seems she's back at it again. Brenda emailed me this afternoon saying, "Grace is good. Eva has bitten Jaidyn and Mollie today. They were playing with something and she wanted it. Mollie's left a welt on her leg but I'm not sure about Jaidyn's. She might have pulled away faster than Mollie so she didn't get it as bad. I sat her in time-out both times and she just cried. She bit Jaidyn first and then Mollie. I asked her if she wanted me to bite her and she said no and took off running crying. I told her if she bit someone again I was going to bite her back. She just buried her face in her hands and cried. I told her she had to sit in time-out for 5 min. After about 2 she looked at Grace and wanted her to get her. Grace said no Eva that is bad, you can't bite. You hurt Mollie."

I just don't know what to do w/ her - how can Grace be so sweet and Eva, well let's just say not so much??? And she'd so dang cute, she gets upset every time she bites someone and you correct her but doesn't seem to phase her.
