Last night Islay told her mum, “it’s OK, I’m a big girl, night night” enabling Sakino to leave the bedroom before she fell asleep. After months of coaching by myself, this was a breakthrough moment.

When she woke up this morning, I gave her a big hug and told her how proud I was of her for being a brave girl as she recounted the story.

.. then spent 35 minutes trying to convince her to eat some breakfast to no avail!

Rollercoaster!
