Venting...

Coming on here to vent. Hopefully I'll be back later with a more uplifting post with pics from Abigail's birthday weekend.

Henry has been really trying my patience the past couple of days. He's been whining a ton and just downright mean at times. He really scratched Abigail's face in about 6 places over the past two days, has pulled her hair and has chomped on her. I'm not really sure why...until recently he's been very good, not showing much physical anger at all. It's driving me crazy though. Today I let them watch "Blues Clues" while I was cleaning up the kitchen after lunch. Henry started pushing buttons on the cable box (another thing he's recently started doing) and Abigail was getting upset. She yelled to me to come change it back to "Blues Clues" and then started screaming and crying. Henry had bitten her in her back.

Oh, I was fuming mad! I grabbed hit, very firmly (okay, yelled) "NO" to him and started taking him in his room. I told him he was NOT to bite and that now it was time for a nap. I put him in his crib, gave him his normal nap stuff, put on his music and left. Of course he was crying at this time. Then I heard a loug thud. Yes, he crawled/fell out of his crib. I'm still fuming at this point. I go in there, make sure nothing's broken, then put him back in his crib. I gave him a few extra hugs because I know he did just fall out of his crib and all, then told him he MUST stay in his crib and then I left.

Okay, now...repeat what's typed in red.
Okay, now...repeat it again.

Yes, he fell/crawled out 3 times. He doesn't do it gracefully either. He really falls. Until today he had only done it one other time. Maybe it's time for a bed...

Okay...done venting...for now.
I do love him though, just not liking him a ton right now.
