Fri (Feb 29)
I noticed a couple of
bruises on Aly's lower leg,
one very large.
She made a comment that she
didn't want to go to the
hospital anymore like she
did last night. She
said she was crying. She
said she was sick (That's
why you go to the hospital,
right?) But she didn't
elaborate.
And she said that she didn't
like her babysitter.
When I shared about 'going
to the hospital'
you knew nothing about it,
and we thought maybe Aly had
been partly asleep
Sat (March 1)
I noticed Aly was doing some
mean things to her brother I
had not noticed before:
'slapping him in the face'
while he was eating in his
high chair,
and coming up behind him
ready to push him down.
Later, while I was holding
her on the couch,
she said that she
didn't like babysitters
anymore because they were
mean
But she didn't elaborate,
and I didn't pry
I'm not asking any
questions, Aly is just
sharing with me 'out of
the blue'
If you could give her some
one-on-one quiet time, it
would be
inducive to her sharing her
hurts
Also Sat night Aly was
acting fearful about going
to bed,
and I haven't seen that in a
very long time
And she wanted the room
light on - not just the
small lamp light
