When Missy was 4 months old, she cried and screamed like a 5 year old! She never really did have that sweet baby infant cry. She screamed bloody murder. I was a wreck!
At 7 months, she flipped out when I got to the grocery store parking lot, I had taken her there several times before and never had that reaction. I thought it would get better when we got inside, but she flipped even more. By the time we got home, she was almost completely out of the 5-point harness car seat that she was in!
At 18 months, around the holidays, I can remember her being so defiant and oppositional that I broke down and cried. I could not figure out what the heck was wrong.
She was involved in playgroup at 14 months old and not one other kid had the tantrums and meltdowns that she had. I knew, at that point, something was up.
A year later, I landed here.
