Clingy and cranky

This whole week, you've been w h i n i n g enough to make me want to pull all of the hair out of my head. Really, I love you, but could you stop already? I try all the tricks. I distract, I cajole, I trick, I plead, I yell, I ignore, I reason... nothing. Grrrrrrrr. You're really funny and really entertaining when you're being good, it's just that good this week is hard to come by. You've thrown a fit nearly every morning about getting dressed, getting in the car, going to daycare (enter the super clingy part), etc. Then in the evening, it's even worse because you're tired and cranky.

I wonder if you're getting a nap at school or not. I'm also not entirely sure you're enjoying it there right now. You're always playing hard when Daddy comes to get you, but there are just little worrisome signs. Last week, for instance, you were being clingy and didn't want me to go. This is unusual for you until very recently. I had talked you into letting go of me, and I was just waiting for the teacher to herd the two-year-olds in before stepping out. A little ugly runt of a boy (sorry, not PC but who cares?) walked up to you holding a ball (not offering, just holding), and you got the nastiest look on your face and yelled "NOOOO!" I was shocked. I guess you don't like him. Not that I blame you, but it was kind of weird, and a bit alarming.

Anyway, I'm going to have to keep my eye on things. I'd like to start getting things set up for Montessori or other school, but you need to be potty trained first. We're a LONG way from that.

Tonight, nothing exciting but tomorrow night you're going to go to Grandma's because Daddy, Uncle Chris, Uncle Mason and I are going to the cheap seats We're going to see Wonder Stuff and it should be great. I'm out of touch with them but a concert of theirs about 10 years ago is still on my top concerts list. Very definitely looking forward to it!
