Coming off a blue day, I had high hopes that Peyton had finally wised up to the game. She was excited to go to school, and I helped get them ready this morning before heading off to work. I thought we’d turned a corner, and she’d broken through her transition phase. Until I got the call. We were walking at lunch, and I got a call from CDC. Apparently, Peyton had a melt down going back to class for her assessments. She was yelling at her friend, in her face, throwing stuff around, and being a pill. They were waiting for her to calm down, but when her teacher saw her, she wanted to postpone her assessment, since she couldn’t get herself together to adequately assess her. Peyton had to be carried back to CDC, since she wasn’t going on her own volition. I was rattled, but able to work for about an hour before I got another call. She was still being disruptive and throwing her shoes around. It was 2:20 pm, and they were waiting for Brandon to come in and talk to her. If that didn’t work, they wanted me to come and get her. Ai-ya! Dave was working on his paper from home, so he went to go get them around 3 pm. He wasn’t able to get anything out of her, and he wanted me to when I got back. I picked her up from the field, and she had her batting gloves on. Dave hadn’t had her hit yet, since she was jumping all over Brandon. She did come with me, but she told me she didn’t want to go to the club. I had planned to go and change there, but Peyton was hungry, so we went home first. I fed her and changed, then headed over. She was more agreeable, and I told her she’d earn her toy back that was taken away this morning if she behaved at the club. She was the only one there, and she kept hanging onto my leg. I pried her off, and she went to go play with Tiffany. I went to my class, which I had to skip last week. It was only 2 of us in the beginning. The trainer noticed I was absent last week, and I had to tell him I was gone because of school events. The routine was changed up, as it is every month, so I had to pay attention to follow along. He told us that he was going to scrutinize since there were just two of us. Great…but at least my form was better because I was concentrating more. Soon, two others joined, and I relaxed more. The second half of the class is the more advanced class. The trainer gives two moves, one more difficult than the other. The bad part of being a “regular” meant that he knew my name, and called me out! Two times being called out in two days! I was able to get a better work out because of it, but I hadn’t worked out in 2 weeks, and I was feeling it! Plus it didn’t help that I’d had a rough day. I made it through class, went to pick Peyton up, and she was just playing “scene it”, the kids’ version. I let her play one round, then I told her it was time to go. I wanted to get her home and get her to bed ASAP. I’d emailed the teacher earlier in the day to offer her suggestions (as she requested) on how to get her to settle down at pick up time. She told me she was actually on blue at the end of the day, then had to be told to change back to green. She wasn’t happy to hear that, and refused to change her card. She’d actually kept it together until dismissal, while waiting for kids to be picked up. I suggested giving her a task to do, or giving her a page to color to distract her from bothering other kids. I told Peyton I’d put a book in her backpack that she can read while she waited for CDC to pick her up. She agreed to that. We talked in the car about her behavior, and she was more rational about things. She reviewed her behavior and how she could change it. She told me she didn’t want any more than one friend, Ava, who was in another class. I told her I had more than one friend, and it was okay to have more than one. She had lots of friends at MA, and it’s just more fun that way! I was even thinking of having a play date with the girl she is having problems with. We’ll see how that goes. The other girl’s parents may not want to have anything to do with us! She had no problem listening tonight. She took a bath, practiced piano, and I gave her a piece of fruit before the boys came home. I sent her to bed by 8 pm, which is still not early enough. Meanwhile, as Peyton was doing a better job, it was Brandon’s turn to get it. Dave was upset with him for not giving 100% effort on the field at practice. He was setting a bad example for his younger teammates, who would then follow the misbehavior. I did thank Brandon for talking Peyton down at CDC, but I encouraged him to listen to Dave at practice. I kept singing “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…” as I was getting stuff cleaned up tonight. And I will need to provide an update to Peyton’s behavior and what I found out about it from her directly. Tomorrow is another day…
And to make matters worse, I left part of my skin at the class today 🙁 rubbed my elbows off doing one of the exercises…

Even my mom said, as I was relaying information, “What kind of kids are you raising?!” Nice, right?! My hope is that 10 years from now (okay, maybe even a year from now), we can look back and laugh at it all…like on Monday, when Peyton didn’t listen, she was actually changed to yellow first, not orange. Home girl tried to change herself BACK to Green when the teacher wasn’t looking. She was caught, and then the teacher moved her to orange. And THAT’S how she got to orange!
