I have been one of the lucky ones-by that I mean that the Mom thing cane to me easy. I never really had a hard time adjusting or anything like that. However, that was before the last few days. Aaron has started throwing tantrums and they are getting me to the absolute core of my being. He screams, cries, hits me and pulls my hair. It is horrible. I have gone to bed before 9:30 the last 2 nights, just shutting down. Alex actually posted my last entry for me.
So that is Ernie, Aaron's new fishie. We just got home from dinner with everyone and I am toast thanks to a tantrum. For the most part we sit him in the chair and let him cry it out explaining that his behavior is unacceptable. Please pray for me to have patience and strenght during this time. I guess here is God in my life, being my drill sargeant-just like Pastor Ken says!
Well-he just came in and le me know that he pooped, so I am off to change him.

I am glad that we all go tot go to dinner. granted it wasn't the best ever but at least we were all there! Aaron is something. I am sorry that his tantrums are wearing you out. I am sure that it is just a stange the he HAS to go through and soon they will be over. You are a great mom and God will give you what you can handle and help you with what you can't! I am always here if you need me...anytime! I love you guys more than anything!
Do not forget, you are doing everything right, he is just testing his newfound toughness! You are a great mom, and whoever said tantrums start at two is on crack. They start before that and the "terrible twos" are really not that bad.
Stay strong, you will get your boy back!
Love you and thinking of you,
Em
