Tyke and Tot have some trauma triggers that will send them in a spiral of acting out screaming, and otherwise making me feel like I am living in bedlam. Here are a few:
- Small rooms
- Strangers
- Seeing food
- Seeing dishes
- Diaper changes
- Naptime
- Me holding/rocking someone else.
I am doing the best I can, but I must cook, they have to go to bed, I have to hold the baby, and I must change diapers. Oh yes, and when you are involved with child services there is a plethora of strangers that want to "talk" to the little dumplings and it seems all things involved with Child Services so far involve us going into a small room.
Currently they are upstairs screaming. Naptime lasted all of 20 minutes. I don't think they slept. I am just taking a moment so I can go in with a smile and patience. I have NEVER needed more patience in my life.
I have read Mama Foster's blog where she goes and looks back over the last year and can see the growth and change in "Lizzie." Yep, I can't wait for some of that.
