Today was the day C was supposed to spend restricted to her room as a consequence for the trouble she got into at school. In speaking with the school further, we decided to allow her to write an appology letter stating everyone she should be sorry to for the event and to allow her out at noon. Her spelling was to be done, her room clean, and the letter written. It was like pulling teeth to get her on board as she wanted to debate the legistics of the letter. Finally, Dad firmly stated that it was this, or a full day restriction and she decided to do the letter instead.
She wrote a good letter, considering how difficult writing is for her. I wrote a letter as if I were her, too, knowing she would leave out a lot of people affected. When it was all said and done, we prayed and had a nice talk, agreeing that the subject is over and done. She came out of her room in a pleasant mood.
She also got invited by a church friend to go ride a REAL train today to Wickenburg. This is a licensed foster family that invited her and I was sure it would be a fun and safe event so she is out with a GOOD friend, as opposed to the ones she has found at school. I sent her with some Halloween candy to share and am praying she has a great time and connects further with this friend. I am also praying for the happy and wonderful C that we all love to be the one on the train ride for the adults' sake!
