I guess time flies when you're having fun. I have no idea where this week went. I have been so busy at work every day. I look up at work from doing my intakes and it is noon and time for lunch ("nunchtime!") and then I see regular clients and the next thing I know, they're calling for charts to be returned to the chart room because it's 5:00. It really feels like time is flying by on internship right now.
We briefly thought Rebecca was getting sick on Tuesday. She threw up twice here with Nanny Rebecca. Never any fever or acting like she felt bad, other than that she said her tummy hurt. Whatever it was, apparently it was mild and short-lived.
Her expressive language abilities have really stunned me this week. We found some of her flash cards and pulled them out. I had no idea she knew what so many obscure objects were (like a top, for example). The best part is that we look through them and she'll tell me what the object is, but then she often launches into a story related to the picture. For example, one of her flash cards had a picture of a jar. She looked at it and said, "Dat's a jar." Then she expounded, "Gammy has a jar in her sewing room. It has looooooooooooooots'a buttons. Gammy made my pitty dess with looooooooooooots'a buttons. Da red and 'allow and blue and pink and oh-range and puh-ple. There lots'a buttons." I showed her a card with a picture of a bucket. She said, "Dat's a bucket. I have a red bucket for the BEACH. I have shells and sand and toys. I like the beach! There's lots'a water at the beach...the ocean." Then she went into a long monologue about playing at the beach that I can't remember.
Well, my husband and daughter are both still sleeping soundly. Neither of them have to go to work today, but unfortunately, I do.
