Just that kind of freaking day
So idk if anyone has one of those days as a parent where they just want to hide and drink a margarita (or just eat a whole batch of brownies) and continue to hide... Today is that day... I have a (almost) 2 year old that won't sleep if his life depended on it. He keeps me up till midnight then wakes up 4 times a night with night terrors... Which are not just regular nightmares in case you are blessed enough to not experience them.. they are more like watching a scary movie and your child is the star. As he is passed out asleep but shrieks, screams "no" , cries and throws himself around and sometimes off his bed.. It's awful and absolutely horrific as a parent to watch. There is nothing to make it better and I can't even touch him or his night terrors just get worse as if whatever is getting him is the one he thinks is touching him... So in efforts to help him we watch no adult movies or shows unless he's asleep... All Sesame Street and Thomas the train for us and let's just say it's a nightmare... Never have I seen a more ignorant character than Thomas... Who even gave him his own branch line? she can't even follow simple directions! Also we all see his engine driver doesn't he at least have a brain to know if you set bees free in a flower garden they won't come back to you? Or that statues won't eat syrup and fish? Also that it's hard to believe he's somehow lost when I just watched his driver read a freaking map for 3 min... Anyway to add onto my experiences of my almost 2 year old starting to act like a 2 year old. We also have a 5 month old... And she will be the death of me... I've never seen a baby more fussy in my life ... She has two modes : sleeping or crying.. You can hold her, feed her, change her, bounce her, sing to her, play games, pacifier, tylonal.. Nothing... I think she honestly hates us.. She makes the constant background noise of fussing, crying or yelling... They say they grow out of stages quickly and one day you'll miss the long, crying and temper tantrum days like today... And though normally I love it.. Days like today (as I just got bit by my son while typing this) hope they are right..
