I just spent a very nice 1 1/2 hours with Thomas, Philip, and Sarah in the garden playing with water. They began playing with water in the bath room. I came in and stopped that mess. I said they should come to the garden. Sarah didn't understand, and acted like I was going to kill her. I had to pull her cloths off as she screamed. Then I set up the buckets of water, and she played her little heart out. The boys loved it too! They kept saying "Mom look at this"! "Mom, look at me"!!! I think it's getting very hard to hate me! She gave me a kiss when Juergen came home. She acts like I send him away, and I bring him back. Maybe she believes this? I don't know? Anyway, it was very nice. I don't think it's going to make her love me, but someday she will have to acknowledge I'm not the awful monster she believes me to be!!!
