How did I forget about the two's: The dramatics, not being able to reason or bribe, the tantrums. Oh sweet Jesus, THE TANTRUMS! My kids have both been wicked awesome at throwing them. If there were a contest, they'd be getting ribbons. Mason used to throw himself on the kitchen floor. Always the kitchen floor, which is tile, and throw his head back to make sure there was a nice sounding 'crack'. Then he'd cry harder because damn, that had to hurt! He did that for months. I don't remember how old he was when he stopped but I can tell you how happy I was when they did. Very, very happy.
There back! In full force! Harper screams and fights every single time we put her in her carseat. She screams and arches her back and did I mention the screams? Wow, can she get all eyes on her in one scream flat. I haven't yet seen her throw herself onto the kitchen floor and intentionally crack her head. Oh no, she's into different things. I've seen her grab handfulls of her own hair and yank and even more destructive, bite herself on her arm. Good God, tell me I'm not the only one who has kids that do these sorts of things. Please?
In other news:
I had my second appointment with the Chiropractor. He never got close to my boobs but he did tell me my neck is totally effed. You know how your neck should have a curve to it? It should make a nice gradual letter C. My neck is curving the wrong way (think hunchback). Because it is doing this it is pinching nerves that are making my skin sore. He has a whole slew of things he wants me to do, much of it not covered by any insurance companies. I need to figure out where to draw the line. Today I had an adjustment and although I am suppoosed to feel super sore, I feel better then I've felt in weeks.
Did I tell you that the Dr. I am seeing is an Olympic Chiropractor? This will be the second set of Olympic he will go to the work on the athletes. I feel a little honored. I also think I heard about his Olympic athletes one too many times. All in all? I am pretty happy about the care I am getting.
Glad to hear it's helping! Alyssa is ready to turn pro in temper tantrum throwing. The screaming, oh, the screaming! I feel your pain.
ReplyDeleteOk, my daughter is 3. Not a tantrum thrower at all. She does on occassion pout now. But last year when she was in the terrible stage- she would announce that she was going to be mad at me. As in "mommy i am being mad at you now." No joke, that is exactly what she said. That would last for a few minutes, then business as usual. My son, who is 2, is tantrum king. He lies on the floor and kicks with the legs of an olympic swimmer. He the flails about, crying and flops from side front to back, wiping snot on the floor (carpet or tile, he is not picky). It is almost comical, except that if I laugh he just gets more angry, and the fit lastsd longer. I have decided to just tell him that when he wants to get up and act like a gentleman, I am ready to listen to what is wrong. Usually the explanation is that Mommy is not fair. I think, with my kids that she was so much more calm because she has been very verbal for so long (5 word, coherent, sentences at age 1). She knew how to explain the problem to me, while my son talks alot, but doesn't understand feelings. Or else the boy is out to break me.
ReplyDeleteA few things:
ReplyDeleteSydney does the intentional smacking her head on the floor thing and effective last Sunday--she bites herself on the arm. She has nice bite marks to show at daycare--ugh. The neck--mine curves the wrong way too. Two separate docs asked me, "So when was your accident?" I've never been in one! Glad to hear you're feeling better!
