After a week of getting into trouble (again) for lies, Daniela is finally off punishment. Then, today she does something she KNOWS she is not to do. While she is in punishment, she usually does something else. Super frustrating, to say the least.
I must admit, I think she thinks the same thing I do...why? I try to talk it out with her. She doesn't ever have much to say. She doesn't even understand herself.
Some days I am great and rely on the Spirit to help me have self control and other days I fail and raise my voice wondering why she causes such chaos so often.
Staring at me at the end of the bed in silence, she just crawled into my bed quiet as can be. Pushed her whole warm body up against my legs and side and fell asleep. I am freezing from being in the rain working this AM, and I am glad she did. Being loving and showing love through touch is hard for her and she is often cold and rigid.
I have never seen her take a nap in a 1 year and 8 months.
She is exhausted.
She exhausts me.
