A Hurt Heart

The Art of Listening

After occupational therapy on Wednesday, Piper asked me to pass her lunch box so she could eat her apple slices.  I explained her teachers must have thrown them away at lunch because her lunch box was empty. She was really upset with her teachers.  I asked Piper if perhaps she threw away her apples and she said "No, my teachers did".  I wrote down her thoughts as she babbled in the back seat.  I love how she is learning to use her language to express her feelingss instead of anger. 

"My heart doesn't love them when they do that.
I don't love it.

I think they need to think in their brain first
and probably think how they hurt my heart.

I really get bad days
I think I'm sorry - it's just does this

When they think in their mind
They think ceptable (acceptable) one time
then they going to be thinking about me.

Sorry they frowed (throwed) my apples away
I actually think I did that
I didn't think about it first.

I think about my teachers
and Mommy writes it down
and explains it to me
why I have a bad day.

I get very tired thinking about it.

They do what it is
5, 5, 5, five times
Terribly is bad
Think about that, they should read what Mommy is writing."
