Wingless.

 This little figurine used to have wings and a hand with a streamer of hearts. Until Gracie found it.
Now it is a symbol of Gracie to me. Wingless. Big Heart. Stuck on earth. "Timothy Green" if you saw that movie. Someone that just doesn't fit in. Someone I can relate to.
BUT sometimes she makes me soooooooooooooo frustrated.
She had a great day today. A great speech session. She answered alot of questions vocally! Great responses! She had a good afternoon session with her therapist, Lindsay. No outbursts of any kind.
Then I was cleaning up a special sushi dinner from Wegman's and I thought it was quiet but didn't do anything about it. Bad Mistake.
I went into the living room and she had one of her ( and my) favorite pop up books!!! and was ripping everything out of it - letter by letter. I got so mad. But I made her clean it up and throw everything away. SHE KNEW I was not happy with her. SHE KNEW she was not supposed to do that! SHE KNOWS EVERYTHING!
We had to put screws in the windows in her room so she would not be able to open them and throw things out of them!!!!
Some days I don't know what else to do.
She is so smart. I just with I could get into that brain and figure out why she does what she does.
That would make my life easier.
