But this week winning, winning all the way. 176 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 4: So I've had my daddy daughter. To date, we've got 177 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: a happy ten year old tell us about your older 178 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 4: better tomorrow with our six year old Emily. 179 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: Well, it was great the feedback that we got from 180 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 2: LB in Germany. She talked about episode two, one hundred 181 00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: and eight, and that was actually what I was going 182 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 2: to refer back to because in that episode we talked 183 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: about just some of the challenges we've been having with 184 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 2: Miss SIGs. Miss Emily. She has really just been pushing 185 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: the boundaries a lot lately, and I've been really really 186 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: struggling with it because she's such a beautiful child, but 187 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: she's very strong will, she's very independent, and she really 188 00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 2: really just wants to do life her way, and so 189 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 2: trying to work with that can be a little bit 190 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 2: challenging at times. And so in that episode, we just 191 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 2: talked about the fact that we kind of went back 192 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: to some basics and we reassessed the routine and you know, 193 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 2: kind of checked in with her and those checkpoints to 194 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: help her understand and know what was going to be. 195 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:35,719 Speaker 3: Expected of her. 196 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 2: But over the last few weeks, we've seen incremental changes 197 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: in her as she has just taken on board the 198 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: things that we've talked about and discussed, and I've had 199 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 2: some major wins. 200 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 4: Well, I was going to say, you're saying incremental changes, 201 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: and they have been. But then a switch was flicked 202 00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 4: about a week ago, just something happened and she became 203 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,640 Speaker 4: literally we actually were joking around in the house and saying, 204 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 4: we've got a brand new Emily. 205 00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 3: Where's the old Emily gone? Where's the new Emily? 206 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:06,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, it's been it's been crazy. And so about 207 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 2: a week ago, I was having a conversation with her, 208 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 2: and she said, Mommy, I love you so much. And 209 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 2: I looked at her and I said, do you know 210 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 2: how I know that you love me? She said, because 211 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: I told you. And I said, well, that's one way, 212 00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 2: I said, but the real way that I know that 213 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,360 Speaker 2: you love me is because you show me. And over 214 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: the last few days you have actually been showing me 215 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: as you've listened to my requests to do the things 216 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: that I've asked you to do, that you love me. 217 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 2: And she kind of said, ah, she kind of took 218 00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 2: that in. And then the other night, as we were 219 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: having a snuggle in bed, I was talking to her 220 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 2: about these changes that I'd noticed in her, and I said, 221 00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: you know, there's been some really big changes, like so 222 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 2: much so I don't even know where the old Emily's gone. 223 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 2: She's not here anymore. And I said, and I am 224 00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 2: loving this new Emily. And Emily said to me, she said, 225 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 2: I know, I know you do, mom, with this big smile. 226 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 2: And I said, do you know what's changed? And she 227 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: looked at me as only a little six year old can, 228 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 2: and she said, Mummy, I changed my heart. And I 229 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 2: just was overwhelmed with how much a little six year 230 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,840 Speaker 2: old kind of gets it, really gets it. And I 231 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 2: said to her, I said, how did what did you 232 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 2: change in your heart? And she looked at me again 233 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: with this en gorgeous little smile, and she said, I 234 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 2: changed everything. And as I sat there in that little 235 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 2: dark space and cuddled up to my six year old, 236 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 2: I was so grateful for her heart and her recognition 237 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 2: that we can change it and it makes all the difference. 238 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 4: I love how kids teach us. I'm so glad you 239 00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 4: shared that I'll do better tomorrow. Is well, there's a 240 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 4: reason it's everyone's favorite.
