Possessive are we?

I took my car in to get the oil changed. Mark can do it, but I won't let him hurt my car - I want it to last a long time! Kendra cried when she saw that people were "hurting" our car. Geez, does anyone else's kids do this? AND we had to get up and discuss various items and when we were done someone had sat in Kendra's chair. She kept whining saying, "that's Kenga's chair, that's Kenga's chair." Distraction usually works but this time she kept going back to the woman sitting in her chair. This happens with everything she thinks is hers. If anyone touches it she cries, whines, etc.

Lately we've noticed the tender side Kendra has. At the gym one of the little girls didn't want to run around, she just wanted to sleep. So Kendra laid next to her and patted her on the back. So sweet. I was surprised that Kendra touched her - she doesn't like it when the other kids touch her.

Our other great news is that Kendra wore panties all day today - and no accidents!!!

We enjoyed watching conference today. I really look forward to it. It's nice to hang out at home for a couple of days with our family. We use to go to the church but that was hard with a little child, so last March we upgraded our internet to DSL.

Life

This just totally cracks me up. Mark use to park at the mall to take the bus until the new bus parking lot opened. We never had any problems parking at the mall. Then, within two weeks of opening, Mark's car was damaged. Yesterday, and this just makes me laugh, someone puked all over by Mark's driver side door. He scooted around and jumped over it to get in. I would've just crawled through the passenger side. I wonder what will happen next week....

Here in New Mexico (and probably all of the southwest) you have to spray every so often to keep bugs out of your house. It has been a few months and bugs are creeping back in. I didn't mind until last night when Mark and I were about to go to bed and I noticed a long crawling critter coming towards my head!! It was another centipede - about 4 inches long, but with giant pinchers. Yeah, Mark's spraying tonight.

Kendra attends the Little Gym for gymnastics. It is probably the most expensive gymnastic program and I wouldn't have enrolled her if I didn't think she needed it. She loves her instructor and playing on the equipment. It's so good for her body. She still has issues with touch. Yesterday at the gym a boy ran into her (they run into each other alot). She began to cry (she's not hurt, just upset someone came into her bubble unwelcomed). The boy went back to say "sorry" and Kendra flipped. I'm sure she thought he was going to touch her again. This behavior has puzzeld me and I haven't known what to do about it. Today, after talking to my friend, I realize I need to validate her feelings and role play with her. Hopefully with time she'll handle it better.
