The Walls have been closing in on us this past couple of weeks.

Summer continues to be difficult for Maddie, just like it is every year. We have plenty of strategies to try to keep her from meltdown, but they are often as impenetrable as the 1985 Bears defense. Her big thing now is to focus on thing that she stresses out about and then when that is solved she is off to the next stress.

NOTE: Most of our newer happy Monday videos will happen on Sunday night, as it’s become too difficult to get them done on Monday morning. This one shows how she was most of the afternoon on Sunday. The last part of video before she sings Happy (you might have heard this song–we have at least 3000 times) shows her this Monday morning before camp still struggling.

Here’s a positive to go off on.  She had a great day at camp on Monday. Let’s hope the rest of the week goes better.
