I'm on countdown until ds (3) goes back to preschool. I think he's on countdown too as he's asked the last few days if it's a preschool day. Meltdowns are getting worse and worse over the holiday period. He didn't cope well with sharing his toys, yet expects to play with the little ones toys. His eye contact has been appalling - we've never had it so bad or obvious. In fact it's not something I've ever noticed he doesn't do, except that he has been holding his head away from us when talking about anything other than Thomas tank engine. Since New Year's Day when I recorded king of the railway, he's watched it on average 3 times a day. 5 the other day as it's the only time he's not hitting/kicking/licking/pushing or head butting any of us. More and more he's taken himself out of the group environment, or clung to dh or I when anywhere other than home. He's begged and pleaded to go home when visiting friends and family. Particularly those who don't get him/think we need to be more firm with discipline.
Indoor voice is a constant request. It'd be nice if he ate even his favourite foods. I swear he's losing weight. Utterly drained from disturbed nights - it appears his meds aren't working as effectively, anyone know if you can build up tolerance to melatonin/it can take longer to work?.
To top it all off, we're going on holiday with good and understanding friends very soon. And I'm looking forward and dreading it in equal measure.
