Lucy has gone back into a fussing-about-every-outfit-and-every-car-ride funk. I thought maybe it would just be a day or two thing, but last night Jon and I realized that it started back this way right at her birthday. That's two weeks ago, so it officially doesn't qualify as just a small step backward.
Oh, those weeks that she was doing great were so wonderful! They were a glimpse into what life could be like--life without someone screaming all day. Life without my stress level at 99.99% capacity.
I've been telling myself that my mood and my behavior should not depend on her mood or behavior. I know it in my brain, but I just can't seem to make it happen.
It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel knowing that we've been dealing with this sort of stuff for 2 and a half years already!

I thought the cold water thing had worked. Maybe your doctor could suggest something. So sorry it's started again. L&K N
Oh friend! Hang in there. I am there right with you. I have the same "talk" with myself everyday not to change my mood when DJ is having a rough day. I'm praying for you and keep up the good work. You are the best mom I know. XOXO
