Day #1844 (Wed., Jan. 21, 2015) – More Eleri Drama

2015-01-21 - Two VampiresThe photo to to right shows the original mean vampire I drove on Katie’s magnetic board a while back, plus the new one. I guess Katie tried to fix it and when it didn’t turn out too well she started to cry. My wife helped out by drawing back the smile. Well, I guess his new name will be “Mean Egg Vampire”…

My wife brought the playyard insert out to the living room the other day. For some reason nothing on it was working…the light, the music, the vibration. Today, for some reason, it started working again. At least this is one less thing I need to fix.

Well, we are back to ‘Eleri’ business. Katie was crying “what if Eleri doesn’t want to play with me?” and won’t let my wife go this morning. We haven’t been talking about Eleri recently – guess we need to make it a daily ritual. I guess my wife told Mary (the principal at Katie’s preschool) – “I don’t know what’s the obsession with Eleri. All other girls are happy to play with Katie, but she is fixated on Eleri”. Mary told her that she thinks it will get better as Katie grows older (hopefully before middle school). She did admit that Katie is a very sensitive girl.

Katie wanted to wrestle tonight so we had a combination wrestling/talking session. I tried to talk to her about Eleri and the situation this morning but she was not too interested.

WHAT I LEARNED TODAY

1) Katie is still obsessed with Eleri.
