I take photos of the whole routine from start to finish and laminate them in a book with a few words on each page explaining what happens. The end of the story should be positive such as a photo of the girls waving good bye to each other with words like "I'll see you tomorrow".<BR/><BR/>This way Kira cloud read the story in bed.Memories Of Minehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13372908229050942550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5651073923289997741.post-81725598208487844752008-04-29T09:56:00.000-04:002008-04-29T09:56:00.000-04:00Thank you.

Go to the dollar store and get her a little phone book of her own. She can put her new friends number in it, her grandmas' etc... She will have that to hang on to so it wont feel like she will never be in contact with her "new" friend again. Also make sure she has a special picture of her and her "new" friend in her Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
