Just in time for her IEP

As Dariya's IEP is next week I have been thinking about what strengths and weaknesses she has and what goals we would like addressed at school.   I was thrilled (she says sarcastically) that she has chosen instead of napping to show off her fine motor skills.  For weeks I have gone in and found her asleep with her shirt off.  But, this week when I walked in I found this....

My chunky little butterball buck naked!

I dressed her but, she undressed herself 3 times.  After two hours of no napping and dressing games I gave up.  I think that skill is mastered. CHECK!

Then I began to think of vocational goals for her...You know it is never too early to start thinking about that transitioning.  So we have decided that since anytime Dariya sees a hairbrush she goes into beauty shop mode.  Complete with a heavy hand.  Don't even try to move before she is done.  She also includes with her services some great babble about how she can make you look beautiful in 3 easy steps. 

She usually comes to brush my hair but, this week she held down talked Alayna into being her victim.  

Maybe we could include some post school esthetician training in her preschool IEP.  Or maybe just when to STOP when your client says all done.

What do you think Juanita? =)

On a serious note, Dariya is having ear tubes placed and an adenoidectomy on Friday morning. We appreciate all prayers for a great surgery and uneventful recovery.  Thanks.
