Kwin's got a bad case of stubbornness! I don't know what started this all. But last Dr's appt. he threw a fit!! I noticed he did SO well at the older kids appt's. He would even get on the scale, and not fight. SO I thought that if I planned his appt. after school, so the kids could go would help. Make it seem like it's not HIS appt. Well that didn't work out so well. The kids had no school today, so I could have made an earlier appt., and only 1 child went with me. It ended it a major meltdown with Kwintyn, and he did everything I expected him to do. They had to weigh me, then both of us to get his weight. No check on his height. We didn't get far into the exam either, and I was feeling defeated, and embarrassed. I'm just glad his Dr. chuckled at my sarcasm, even though most of it was true. Just glad he can be there & laugh about the situation like me. He concluded that Kwintyn is very stubborn, and strong. He is going to check his iron & lead levels just as a precaution, since he is on the slimmer side, and that he is a graze eater. I was fine with that, because I seem to always be concerned on his weight. He's just such a skinny guy, and as Mom, I worry from time, to time about his weight. He did see that Kwintyn's tantrums are just not normal for his age, and that he suggested counseling for me. So that way I can learn to cope & deal more with his behavior. I'm not sure how I should feel about that? My child's Doctor suggesting therapy for me, to deal with him! I gladly excepted, because he is a handful to deal with, and right now.....I'm at a loss. I tried everything I done with the other kids, and other creative thinking ways to get him to listen, and behave. He's a great child, and so these fits come from nowhere. It's like this is his release of his emotions or something? He gets scared, angry, mad, tired, ect., he will just have these huge massive fits! I feel defeated a lot & I'm just so tired. I give in. Even when I put on hard core Mom, and just say bring it, kid. He still wins somehow! Put my foot down, yadda, yadda, yadda. I tried. Plus I was raised that way, so people don't even go there! ;P I have spanked, I have never wanted to spank. But I tried. Did it work? Nope. He just laughed. I'm doing something wrong, I already figured that out. I'm going to look into some play groups, or something along those lines for him, and try taking him to the Library & other places. Maybe just having an outlet will help? But then I am afraid of more outbursts & tantrums when we have to leave, or whatever upsets him. Guess we will just have to try. Let all the perfect people stare & wonder what is wrong with my kid, or why the Mother can't control her child. I make him sound just horrible, but like I said he is wonderful! He just does a Jekyll & Hyde.
I'll start bragging now since that is what most Mom's do is brag. They don't talk about the bad stuff there kids do, or what they lack in an area. Or so it seems anyways. Someones child is always better, and you can always bet it's mine. ;) Hahaha!
Kwintyn is 3 year, 2mos, and so many days old. Yep, had to add in all that. All the good Mom's do.....well they would know it down to the second. But anyways! Kwintyn is a smart little guy. He has a memory like a whip, and remembers things. He can talk fairly well I would say, and he is quite a funny guy when he wants to be. He's full of energy, and brings energy where ever he goes. He's strong, and persistent, and very adamant about things. He is shy, and can be loud, he is fierce, and is mighty, curious, he is just a silly little monkey!!
He's my monkey, and it's my circus so I'm gonna worry about it. But it's not Your monkey's, Not your Circus. So don't worry about it. :)
And yes, he's late on the check up, and he needs a hair cut. Gasp! There's those Mom's again....:P
Edit to add: The Counseling is more for him, not me. So I guess both of us.
