It's Hard Being Two

Here we are in the midst of a bad battle of colds with our kiddos and it seems that Isaiah's sensory issues seems to be rearing their head especially frequently.  Luckily, with prayer and concentration I've been able to keep my patience over the weekend!  Here are a few examples of things Isaiah has been having troubles with over the weekend:  Yesterday afternoon after cleaning and doing laundry all day I decided to place a pillow on the floor (strike one mom), and lay down on it (strike two and three).  Poor Isaiah was so bothered by the pillow on the floor that he started his temper tantrum and ran crying into his room.  Finally after working with him for what seemed like forever he calmed down.  After Isaiah's diaper had leaked during the night I had to wash his crib sheets.  That was way too much change for him.  His bed was not the same!  Luckily...what do you know?!?!  The sheets came OUT of the dryer!  Wow!  Isaiah's clothes didn't feel right, his diaper bugged him, and the list goes on.  It's honestly surprising easy to remain calm even with the tantrums sometimes allllllll day long because I just feel so bad for the kid.  On top of everything he is feeling he just can't tell me how he feels right now and that has to be tough.  I often put myself in his shoes and yeah I would be frustrated too!  I also know that him not feeling the best due to his cold is not helping things.  Well it's back to our therapy schedule this week so time to clean the house and pick up the other tiny thing that is protesting in his jumperoo!
