Dry Spell
WOW! Two weeks and no Joshie stories.
Josh is done with t-ball for the summer. He got his trophy yesterday and was SO PROUD. This can be such a fun age.
From t-ball we headed to the doctor. Josh has allergies and swimmer's ear. Poor guy. This is on top of his asthma. Thankfully all of his issues seem to be mild and hopefully treating them young will keep them from progessing.
Josh spent the entire night crying last night. I am NOT exaggerating. He went to bed with me around 11pm and by midnight he was crying. He was well medicated and I don't know how he could have been in pain. At 2am I couldn't tolerate it anymore. I was beyond a comforting mother so I wasn't what he needed. Jeff cuddled him and I got a few hours of rest. I sure hope tonight he fairs better. Everything is SUCH EXTREMES with this child. He can be so happy he's bursting and then so dang crabby!!!!!!
Sometimes his energy just DRAINS me. I am way more even keeled than him. LOL! Yes, I'm determined, demanding, and bull-headed like he is. I really don't seem to experience such a great range in emotion as he does though. I have however become better at accomidating him. Anticipating his needs and catering to them as to keep us ALL happy. Jeff still doesn't fully understand that. Jeff still has the mentality of "I'm the parent and you will just DEAL with what I say, PERIOD." Then Josh flips out and Jeff gets all mad. ONE DAY I PRAY Jeff will FINALLY realize that if he takes the time to prepare Josh for things, life will be much easier for EVERYONE.
Well, I guess I should head to bed before Josh flips out. He hates to go to bed without me. He will fall asleep on the floor by my feet or in the chair in the living room rather than go to bed without me. I sware if this child could get INSIDE my skin, he would. Jeremy was NEVER like this. You know, it's nice to be "worshiped" but there are times when I just can't take it. THEN, I feel guilty for denying him. I feel like I'm scaring him for life by telling him to leave me alone. I wonder if there are any good books out there about the mother-son bond. I bet there are ...
