Ashley and the eggs
So Ashley was quite the handful when she was on the new medication. She was irritable and difficult, lots of self-injury, and evidently bored. She took my herbs and spices, removed the lids, and dumped some on the counter, removed contact paper from my shelf, made a mess in Josh and Hailey's room, but the main event was the eggs. She took a stick of butter and some eggs from the refridgerator. I found shells from the fridge all the way to the trampoline! And raw eggs all over the trampoline and her comforter that happened to be on the trampoline. Fun! Lots of cleaning for me! That night after I gave her a bath, I was talking to her and said, "Ashley we do not play with eggs. That is naughty." Then my non-verbal child said to me "What eggs?" I said "Ashley, I know you got into the eggs!" She said "No". I cannot even remember the last time she spoke to me before this. I didn't know whether to hug her for talking or punish her for lying! I hugged her and told her I knew she was lying.
