Yesterday we were having lunch w/some friends who happened to be new parents. We were all laughing because some one had told them "you have it all figured out". Our friends like us knew the truth: YOU NEVER HAVE IT ALL FIGURED OUT! Sometimes I think I have it down but new problems always arise or old ones always come back.Take for example Harmon has been doing so well in pre-k and his sensory issues have been like night and day. He has few meltdowns, is better behaved, his speech is exploding, and is so much happier. I felt like WOW, we are really conquering all of this special needs stuff with him!!! Now his night terrors have been increasingly getting worse (last night we were woken up 7 times to the poor guy in agony moaning and screaming, but not actually being awake)! So now once again we will be meeting with his pediatrician Thursday, we are talking to the school counselor, his teacher, and I'm a googling trying to figure out the latest mystery.
I should be down (I'm not down, just tired) about this but I know it will pass. That is the life of being a parent. You figure it out and than like a moving puzzle it messes itself all up again. Just like our friends joked "we have it all figured out until the next growth spurt"; I shall also be enjoying my victories as a mom... while they last.

:) It is true, isn't it? They just keep changing on you. But you wouldn't really want stagnation, right?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the night terrors. That is so not fun to deal with. I hope you find a solution super fast and get it "all figured out."
