With The Little Demon, again! He has been very trying all weekend, crying for an hour when we put him to bed, waking early in the morning with a screaming session, refusing his food, screaming at us for no good purpose, biting, hitting, whingeing all the time. I think his horns are coming through but even so...
Yesterday he was in the creche and I thought I would take dd to Bordeaux for a treat. Well, the first shop we went in she nearly passed out. I thought we was too hot so took her to a cafe and got her an orange juice. Set off for the park, she turns to me in the middle of a busy shopping street and says "mummy, my legs are funny" then she vomits all over the street. Most people just dashed out of the way of the splashing vomit, but some kind man gave us his packet of tissus. She then vomited again on the way back to the van.
The rest of the day was spent mopping up vomit and comforting her. Last night I slept crap as I was expecting her to wake me, which whe did, twice. This morning I awoke to TLD's usual screaming chorus. Dd still not feeling brill so take them both downstairs, TLD struggling all the way. He screams when I give him his breakfast, he screams when he finishes his breakfast, he screams when I offer him a banana. There is no food in and I need to go shopping, but dd doesn't want me to leave her and TLD is just trotting around moaning, hitting dd, throwing his toys, etc. I hunt for the number of the creche to ask them to take him today, but I can't find the damn thing. TLD sees that I am doing something without him so he trots up to me, hits me and screams at me. At this point I do lose it, I scream back at him and tell him that he's a "horrible little boy", not that he can understand anyway! I flung him onto the chair and screamed some more, I just lost my temper basically. I hate doing it, it's no good trying to teach him not to scream and shout when I'm doing it! It didn't do dd any good either.
I got him into the creche, but he's due out in an hour and I just feel at the end of my tether with him. I can't go out because of dd, I have to keep him away from her, comfort her and entertain him at the same time. HELP!
