On a good note, Brendan said, 'cookie' and 'stew' pretty clearly. Everyday he has had a tantrum. I am considering increasing his meds. It is extremely exhausting and disheartening to have your child scream at you and headbutt you every day. Living with someone who is angry throughout the day (no matter what you do to make him happy) does take its toll after awhile. It's not fun living with a knot in your stomach because you don't know what's going to set him off. I use to be more resilient to these outbursts...making I'm just getting old...
What is he mad about? He is mad that the mailman isn't bringing him videos and apparently, I am to blame for this. I have to keep sending him to the stairwell in our house or his room until he calms down (these are the safest places where he can't hurt himself). This weekend he seems to behave better around his Dad. He does have a tendency to take turns with us. One minute he prefers his Dad and is mad at me and vice versa. His Dad has been really good this weekend about making sure I get some down time to myself. I guess he could tell how frazzled I am with all the tantrums.
