Some days Elliott just surprises us with the things that he does and it is easy to get lost in his achievements and forget that he has behaviors, ticks, etc. Today was not one of those days....He was very moody and challenging towards the end of the day. He was tired and would not go to the bathroom (which when he has to go #2, he tends to get very cranky). He was an extremely strong willed child and due to his behaviours he was not allowed to go to the pool with his brother after dinner. Oh my word, what followed was enough to make SuperNanny show up on our door. One of his worst episodes to date. I was really feeling like the worst mother in the world and he was trying so hard to push my buttons. He finally fell asleep but woke up when I put him in his pj's and began again....thankfully he did say sorry and started to stop before falling asleep again. I don't know how tomorrow morning will be and I am so exhausted that I am going to bed at 9:33! These are the days that literally drain me. Dh was here with us and I can tell he has no idea how to handle him and that they are like oil and water when he has an episode. I worry sometimes that this will cause strain in our marriage.
