Love the pouting part, I don't think I ever felt safe doing that as a child. How did you know for sure you had a little one inside?
I think the more T and I talked about my childhood, the more I felt that these little ones weren't heard and comforted in many ways. My dreams have also played a huge part - I've had many, many dreams with me being guided by little girls or me helping little ones. I also found some notes that I'd written over the years that really expressed my feelings as a child well - I read those to T, so it brought those emotions back up.

My T says she thinks I do too because sometimes I do things that remind her of a child (not in negative way) I feel the temper tantrums though sometimes because I want to stomp me feet in therapy and say NO! lol
Because I like to be the good patient , when T told me that I need to act more unreasonable to access that child side of me and those feelings, I tried it - it wasn't easy for me, and I still am not all that unreasonable. I have a hard time expressing anger, too, so I'm nowhere near there yet. But I think it's good to have a temper tantrum!

Did you used to eat blowpops as a child? I honestly can't remember any kind of candy as a child. But I remember when they came out with grape Bubbleyum!
Oh, yeah - I loved Blow-Pops! I loved Bubble Yum, too, but we weren't allowed to have it much because of the sugar - I also loved Hubba Bubba, LOL!

How do you decide what to do to help your child come out? You got the crayons and stuff, but I honestly don't think I ever had a childhood with this stuff. Maybe in school? Do you just buy the stuff and have fun?
I was alone a lot as a child, I kept myself entertained. I'd take a deck of cards and make up stories with them and play by myself for hours. I always loved to color, but I was told that I wasn't good at it - I never did well in art class, so it really took the joy out of it. T encouraged me to do things just for the sake of doing them and finding joy in them, not to necessarily get something productive out of doing it. So the first thing that appealed to me were crayons and coloring. And I have always loved the Muppets, so that was a no-brainer for me - The Muppet Movie was the first movie I saw in a theater. So, yeah - I was actually with 2 friends who've been very supportive of me on my journey - one is an elementary school teacher, and she encouraged me to get the crayons and coloring book. My other friend helped me pick out my stuffed animal.

I have tons of questions, hope you don't mind.
