ds1 is 3.9, and while he's not usually all sweetness and light, we had a nice balance between mostly nice and occasional outburst. the last week he's suddenly become the grumpiest child in the world. he's having mood swings like he hasn't slept all week, but seems to be sleeping fine. he's been complaining about random pains in his knees (growing pains?) and is suddenly dry at night, but has had a couple of accidents in the day (unusual). other than that, nothing has changed that we can think of.
it's such a sudden and complete change, our super independent boy asking for help with getting dressed then stropping because he didn't want that kind of help. do happy children just go to bed and wake up miserable?
