It's been awhile

I've been dealing with a lot lately that I haven't had much time or energy to do anything other than get through the day. With the move some big changes have been in the works for us. Setting up a new routine...well, more of adjusting to not having a bunch of people around. Routine is still the same. Tot has started testing with the local school district because he missed the cutoff for Early Intervention. You see, we've known now for a while that he's got something going on but just don't know what. From the beginning he's always been very high needs. If you don't know what that is here is a great idea of what that means. With all of this as he's gotten older he also has some incredibly intense tantrums that involve head banging on the nearest hard object, throwing toys/cups, and screaming like a banshee. Ignoring does nothing other than exacerbate the problem. So, we've started on getting Tot tested. I'm hoping that with this we will get some hopeful answers as to what is going on with him and so we can all learn to cope with the tantrums and help him navigate through his emotions so that he can have more time to play and be happy instead of spending so much time frustrated and angry. So that's where we're at right now and that's part of why I haven't been around to write. And I'm off to feed Baby. Have I mentioned that she's learned how to crawl and sit and now she's working on cruising? Oh boy!
