Where has my child gone?

So I have officially lost my sweet amazing kind little boy. In the past week he has turned a corner, or for lack of better words walked into a deep dark tunnel and there is no turning back. I never understood what people meant when they said Terrible 2s or Threenager but I have just been rudely awakened. I swear in the last week my son has turned psychotic. It not the right cup, I need that toy, don’t help me- help me!, I wanna do it by myself and the best one yet…I don’t love you anymore.

I am more physically and mentally drained this week than I was when he was a newborn and I feel there is no end. There are moments when I break down and cry because I just cant handle it and there are moments like right now, when Shai and I are filling out his pre school forms and we cannot stop laughing about who our child really has become. We received a short questionnaire and decided to write down our answers we are sending in and below it, what we really want to say. I’m sure many of you with a child around his age can attest.

TELL US HOW A BIT ABOUT YOUR CHILD SPENT THEIR SUMMER:

For the fist 8 weeks he attended camp at Temple Israel which he absolutely loved. The majority of our weekends were spent out east with our family at the beach.

Hallucinating…About everything

WHAT ARE YOUR CHILDS INTERESTS RIGHT NOW:

He loves playing with his toys, playing sports, going to central park and anything outdoors (beach, parks, etc).

Crying, screaming...You know, all that good stuff

WHAT OTHER CLASSES OR PROGRAMS WILL YOUR CHILD ATTEND THIS YEAR?

A sports class and some classes at The Playroom NYC

Therapy..lots of it

HOW DO YOU FIND YOUR CHILD HANDLES NEW SITUATIONS:

He has a hard time at first and can come off very shy but with time adapts well.

We avoid them at all costs, why ruffle feathers?

IS THERE ANYTHING HE/SHE TENDS TO AVOID?

Not that I can think of

I read the question as what do you tend to avoid and my response was:

Toy stores, supermarkets, Walgreens, parks or anywhere else that he may see a new toy and NEED it, resulting in a full blown meltdown

WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR THE YEAR?

For Jagger to gain some independence, try new things and make friends.

For him to get a grip and realize how fkn lucky he is

IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT US KNOW IN ADVANCE OF THE SCHOOL YEAR?

Jagger now has a 7 month old sister

While Jagger is the most adorable, sweet, bright little boy, he can also manipulate the hell out of you, not give up until he gets his way and turn bat shit crazy in the blink of an eye. We wish you lots of luck

*If you are one of Jaggers teachers or anyone involved in his pre school this is TOTALLY an exaggeration...Kind of.
