sheilathetankThank you He is in speech therapy right now twice a week. We are planning to go to a new church that has a wonderful children’s program which I know will be positive for both of us. Our old church is connnected to the old Daycare we just left. Sometimes I feel like he has a lot of trouble going to nursery because he thinks he is going back to Daycare. I know from close friends this is a positive place with lots of groups and activities we can get involved in there. Did he have any friends at daycare you can set up a playdate with? K had a bestie at DC by 15months, so I wouldn't be surprised if he misses his friends. |

sheilathetank she actually goes to the church I was talking about. That’s another reason I wanted to go there to fellowship with them.

Aw I’m sorry, that sucks. I haven’t figure it out for my 2 year old yet. Why did he get kicked out? I was unaware that preschools kicked students out. They said they think he has developmental delays and that basically he's not a good fit. They didn't say they were kicking him out but made it clear that they weren't willing to work with him and I wasn't going to fight for him to stay in a classroom with a teacher who has zero desire to help him succeed. Also, the first inkling we got that there might be a problem was 2 weeks ago when they told us he would need a personal chaperone for the field trip because "he's a busy boy". Outside of that the teacher has never said a word to me about any concerns they had for him. That's terrible. I hope you're able to find something that's a better fit for him. |

So I got some advice from a mindful parenting group and my only suggestion was from the moderator. I got no other comments about my sons sleep behaviors which usually they get a lot of different comments from the members on what they would do. She basically said “he needs closeness right now and I would provide that. “ Fast forward to this morning when he screamed for me I went in and lay down with him. As soon as I fell asleep he punched me right in the face. I was literally crying y’all. It’s the worst fucking feeling. I can’t live like this. He is now screaming at everything that doesn’t go his way. It’s not just a scream it’s like the most high pitched, blood curdling scream and everyone within earshot is affected by it. He does this in public a lot and at home too. I’m at the end of my rope. I hope this “phase” passes quickly. I need my sanity. I'm so sorry. Parenting a toddler some days just feels like it's going to break you. It sounds like you're doing all of the right things, and I do think it just needs to be waited out to an extent. V has a lot of sleep issues, some of which are inherited from me, and some of which are because he needs physical closeness with an adult. He's been this way since he was born (I didn't sleep the entire time I was in the hospital after having him because he would scream the second I laid him down), and because of it we've never done any sleep training successfully. However, we're going to a have a newborn in 6 months, so I need to figure this out in a way that works for all of us. I'm waiting until a school break because I know that I won't have the fortitude to stick with anything when I have to teach the next day. We're also getting hitting, kicking and SPITTING (this sends me immediately to an 11 internally) with alarming frequency throughout the day, and often out of nowhere. More days that not recently I've had to walk away from him and go cry in my room or the bathroom until I feel like I can handle the situation the way that I want to. So you're not alone there. |

budders thank you for the encouragement! I’m hoping you can find some solutions for your boy before the new baby gets there. Hugs, mama!

So we had a speech therapy assessment for DS1 yesterday and it went really well!
She said overall he's probably about 6 months, maybe a little more behind his peers. But she isn't worried about his speech in general. She said he has the right amount of words for his age, he just needs help putting them all together and help with his expressive language. He seemed to really enjoy being there, so I'm looking forward to starting sessions with them.

V started lying about poop and diaper changes pretty much as soon as he could talk. Still going strong at 2.5. |

At 18 months LBB insisted that he hadn't had any ice cream after I watched him eat it and it was all over his face. |

Sleep update
LO has been doing much better since I pushed his bedtime back a bit. I’m also letting him have more time for books and it seems to have helped him feel less rushed. He goes to sleep pretty late but at least there is little to no fussing. Bed time has been enjoyable for both of us.
I’m hoping though this stays like this because he starts Daycare again FT tomorrow morning.
