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.
