:doh I am an idiot! The last few days to a week have been AWFUL... absolutely horrible.
Excessive physical aggression and detachment from my 3yo, and I have gotten more and more worn down, frazzled, frustrated, discouraged, and REACTIVE. Here I am posting about my rough day and how much I need encouragement and so on.... then I went in to the kitchen to wash dishes and it HIT me like a ton of bricks (mainly b/c I saw his little dinosaur mask and the tubing, etc waiting to be washed)
He had to go back on breathing treatments a week ago, and he just stopped them yesterday! Hello?! Did my brain just check out and go on vacation? No wonder he's been over the top... How did I not realize this? How could I have been so angry with him? :blush :cry
HUGE sigh.. :idea :) This gives me hope for the future. :lol Just goes to show... it's always worth while to stop and think about the underlying reasons for behavior.
