A teeny tiny breakthrough???? It's a start.

We have been trying to work with Jade on her mouth. She is just like some others and just says whatever she thinks without thinking it through how it sounds. "It's not what you say, but how you say it." As my mom used to say and I am saying over and over and over.

Last night she was making coleslaw :) as I washed dishes. She was mad because her friend couldn't come over so we weren't talking much. She opened the refrigerator and something inside it? really ticked her off. She said, "Do you always have to.....I'm not going to say it." I have NO idea what ticked her off but she stopped herself even though she was mad and FINALLY for once realized that lashing out and spewing off at the mouth is NOT always the best thing to do when mad.

I have No idea what made her mad but was so proud of her for not saying it. I know her personality will not change but it is a baby step in the right direction!! :)
