Those of you that know Talin don't see him in this state very often. Well as of the last few days I have seen him like this way too often. I'm not sure if the stress of the Christmas season is getting to him or what, but he has had several break downs a day over the past week. Sometimes being a parent is extremely tough, especially when you don't know what to do, so I've just decided to vent about it and hopefully his attitude will improve soon. It seems as though every little thing sets him off lately. Yesterday getting ready for church he went hysterical when I wouldn't let him put his own outfit together, and then he had yet another break down when I forgot to give him a hug and kiss before he went into Primary. And of course the rest of that day was followed with several ridiculous events that sent him into high hysteria. And then today he got upset at school because I made him carry his own backpack into class. I mean he always carries his own bag, I'm not a pack mule! But it was just one more thing that sent him over the edge. And then this afternoon at lunch it was the trauma of eating an orange that did not have it's skin peeled off. At that point he was sent to his bedroom to hopefully sleep for hours on end, and he is still there now sleeping, and I just hope that he sleeps a very, very long time. It is his first nap he's taken in the past week, and I think it's the secret ingredient this child needs to function. Please give me sanity now!

I need sleep or I throw constant fits, too. Tell Talin I understand him. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you after the nap day.
