These past few days have been a little overwhelming. It's been one thing after another. The kids need constant supervision to avoid/minimize meltdowns, tantrums, and aggression towards each other. They play well for a few minutes together and then they don't know how to destinguish play, and getting to rough.
They've been set off by the littliest things. Meltdowns for no reason, completely unreasonable things. Yet completely reasonable to them. Trying not to get worked up and jump into their brains for a minute is quite draining at times.
We've had 45 minute meltdowns because "I'm hungry and you're not driving home fast enough" then when we get home, refusing to get out of the car, therefore fueling the meltdown because mom is walking inside, all the way to being hit with toys, not sharing, a glass of milk, purposely, getting thrown in the face.
This week has been things like this....everyday.....all day, one thing after another. You name it, we've experienced it this week.
Max has also picked up a nasty cold. With his sick voice he sounds like Mickey Mouse. It's sooo cute!! But this of course means extra daily treatments and slowing down his feedings. I'm ready for a new week to begin because this mom is ready for the men in white coats to come and get her!
And on top of all the day to day chaos, Max is not doing so well in school. I think he needs a more structured setting and we've made the decision to pull him out. We are beginning his Occupational Therapy services this coming week. We're getting ready to complete his sleep study in a couple of days. We are also taking him to where we take Paige, The Children's Center, we've got him on the wait list for their Therapeutic Preschool. He may be a little developmentally delayed and expresses ADHD signs.
On a good note, got a progress report and Paige is doing really well at school. Yay!
