Growth Spurts
Never have I seen Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde more than when O goes through her growth spurts. This weekend she was a dream. She ate well, slept at least 2 1/2 hours for naps and her mood was fantastic. Then Monday came. She woke up early in the morning, was crabby and whining/crying over nothing all day including a major collapsing-on-the-floor Oscar winning tantrum at lunch and dinner and took a little over a one hour nap. Today, more of the same. She at least took a two hour nap but she wouldn't play with any toys during her bath and cried the Oscar winning cry again over the snack I gave her! Ahhhh. Are all kids this way? And is this what I have to look forward to every growth spurt? I just want my sweet non-irritable child back. Oh and a good sleeper would be nice too.

Not to scare....but they are all totally that way! May I just say there is something in the girls that is even more drama. Tatum can still be perfectly sweet some days and the next I am thinking "is this another phase...where is my child??"
Watch what you say about my niece lady!
Sorry, but it continues! I never know what mood to expect, who will be pleasant today, and who will be the crab...or worse, 2 crabs!

I don't know what you are talking about. My girls are always in great moods and spend their days telling me how wonderful I am and how much they love me!
O and Hayden may be vying for the Oscar for "best dramatic breakdown".... he has also been a real peach lately. Especially after waking up at 6 am then taking a barely one hour nap in the afternoon..... by 7pm I am ready for a LARGE glass of wine! I think all kids go through stages like this. They are not fun, but they really make you appreciate the good days, that's for sure!!! Hang in there! Kristine
Just think of whats ahead in the teenage years....loads of fun!! Do you hear the sarcasim in there!! It gets even better. Just like us all, we have are good days and bad days. Life is good! I would'nt miss any of it. hang in there! Mary V.
