So, it is true "what goes around comes around" ! It is a depressing day when you realize your wonderful, amazing, beautiful, bright, cute, adorable little toddler isn't really any of those. I finally accepted the truth that I have a tough toddler. He was the easiest baby ever to be on this earth I swear. Sleeping through the night at 5 weeks, and I mean sleeping through the night, always happy and content and never fussy. Then we reach the one year mark and that was ok, but now it is a year and a half and I have my hands full. My biggest issue is that he does not like other kids, and when I say does not like, I mean screaming and throwing fits when other kids come into his comfort zone. Other kids come and try to give him a hug and he freaks out! He is good at home, expect for his testing and stubbornness that I deal with a lot, but in public he is a nightmare, and that is hard for me. I love going to play groups and getting out seeing other mom's daily, but Mika can't stand it. He is very emotionally unstable for at least the first 45 min, and then after that he is somewhat ok. I am pretty sure Mika will never get invited to Birthday parties, and I am sure he is ok with that. I guess Magnus was the same way and so I blame it all on him. Magnus told me last night that he use to scratch kids if they came close, and I was like 'Oh boy I guess I have that to look forward to next - great' . At the same time Magnus turned out pretty good I have to say, and so that is what I hang on too. I was told that the super sensitive boys are the ones that turn out the best, and I have to agree. I keep telling MIka that I am going to spank the demons out of him, but I should probably not to so hard on him and try to figure out how to deal with it in a right way. Let’s just say I am planning on reading anything I can that deals with emotional disorders in toddlers, if there is such a thing. I still love him when we aren't in public though, and at home he is a cutie and I love him. I just fear that we aren't that popular and will never get invited anywhere, and it is probably true, but oh well.. what goes around comes around I guess.
