It's been a pleasant 5 days without major behaviors
without having something thrown at me FOR REAL...
where I am the absolute target to his frustration and he wants to knock me out
even if it's a stupid pen
he has thrown objects, but he'll throw it to the ground, he'll throw it somewhere else other than directly at me!
When he has gotten upset, especially because a transition is happening, play will be ending, it's time to go in, it's time to just move to the next moment in the day
which is so hard for him, regardless of our "timers", our transition warnings, our countdown, all the things we do to help him with the upcoming transition
it still usually gets the better of him and he inappropriately handles that frustration
but EVEN these transitions, have not been as severe as they have been in the past
and by past I mean, less than 2 weeks ago
He right now is in a more stable mood (than again he's asleep right now, maybe I shouldn't even think that until I see him awake this morning... oh he's already been up at 7..... and climbed in bed with me and back to sleep he went!
But his mood, his demeanor, his body language
all says there is a calmer presence about him, less anxious, less nervous, less fixated on a particular thing, item, or topic controlling his brain to try to bring sense to his world
and this my friends,
is a good thing!
Regulation=calmer boy=happy mom=a good day for all!
And this is still 3 days post fourth of July
and we participated
and we continue to glide
I don't know- it's just not usually like this
but I will simply enjoy and TRY not to worry
wonder
feel anxious about when it will end! I am going to have fun with this good time with him! Happy Monday!
