After School Meltdown... This Is How Our Day Went

     Today started off with a good mood day. My son got up around 5:30-5:40 area. My husband was already awake so he spent some time with him. That helped my son out. He ate some of his cereal. So his usual breakfast. He went to school in a good mood, stayed dry the whole time and even got off the bus in a good mood. His mood changed when I told him no on him taking the toy train that belongs to one of the neighbors kids and he started to get upset, threw the toy train (it still works) before biting me in the arm when I picked him up to take him inside.

    I had a great start this morning, I even managed to get all caught up on the dishes which is a huge accomplishment because I have been super distracted with everything else. So all I have left to do is finish up the rest of the dishes which is basically anywhere from 2-5 dishes then I won't have to worry about that.

    My son is in trouble now because we have always told him no biting. I even bribed him with his own toys if he left the train alone. Then he asked for his own toy train. The only train thing he has is the Thomas the Train tent thing in our closet for him. He doesn't get toys or TV for the rest of the day. Biting is wrong even if he is upset. Biting someone else is definitely wrong because they were trying to get him to stop something when they asked. I have a small bruise on my arm now from where he bit me. Thank heavens I had my jacket on to protect my skin.

    He is currently eating some cereal with peanut butter and already had a cup of milk. He will be going down for his nap early and not be allowed to go near his toys until his father says otherwise. We have taught him not to hit anyone and taught him not to bite anyone. He may have been upset but, there is a better way of showing that which he already did by screaming and crying out loud.

    Anyways, don't forget to keep your head up, take a deep breathe, you got this and always keep your coffee cup full. You are going to need it.

Yesterday Was Chaos..... Today was better

      Today has been so much better then yesterday. I found out I am neurodivergent as my BHC (Behavioral Health Councilor) told me. I can get tested but finding the right neuropsychologist in-network with the health insurance is a struggle. Before that appointment was my son's IEP conference at his school. That was very interesting. A lot has happened and finding out that he is doing very well in school is nice to see/hear.     From all of that, I was drained just being around other people, having to talk with other people. I did however get some cooking done. After that I spent time with my husband while my son was asleep at his bedtime. He has been having no nap days.     Today, I got a lot of cleaning done while my son played. I did spend some time with him while I was going through a lot of clothes. I found a full garbage bag worth of clothes that he does not fit in anymore. Now all his clothes fit in the small dresser. I even organized my clothes...

How I am Building a Morning Routine With My Toddler

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3284938032076114" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>          Waking up early isn’t always a walk in the park. I’ve started rising at 5:50 AM to carve out just 10 precious minutes for myself before waking my son at 6 AM. Once the day kicks off, it’s all about the routine. I brew my black coffee and prepare breakfast for my husband while getting my son’s meal ready. He has three cereal options: Protein Cheerios Cinnamon, Plain Cheerios, and Kix. More often than not, he opts for the Protein Cheerios, which is great since he could use the extra protein. He’s been a picky eater since he was little.      His go-to foods include cereal, homemade mac and cheese, a slice of block cheese, peanut butter, goldfish crackers, and on very rare occasions, some candy or animal crackers—oh, and let’s not forget the peanut butter pancakes. Some might...

Easy Pancake Breakfast for Picky Toddlers (Simple Family Meal)

      So I got up at my normal time today and I was still very tired. The reason behind it is because my husband woke up at 3:30AM and my son got up at 4:10AM. That was not easy on me. My husband made pancakes this morning for me and my son. That was a nice surprise for me. Also he got my son to eat some pancakes. The way he made it he actually liked. Pancake, peanut butter and protein cheerios together. He ate half of it.     He had chicken nuggets for dinner and the rest of his breakfast for lunch. For my breakfast I got two pancakes, two fried eggs and a cup of black coffee mixed of my coffee and his coffee. That actually kind of put me to sleep even more. Today has been a pretty good day for me and a some what good day for my kiddo. It has been a long day but it is almost Monday. Now on Monday my son has a dental appointment and I already know that will not go well.     I got a couple of walks in today which felt nice. My son got to spend some time...
