The folks at the hospital yesterday would never have believed this if they could have seen it.
Bedtime was remarkably peaceful. We all read stories, listened to dad play the harmonica (there was a harmonica in one of the stories and difficult child asked what that is so I pulled ours out and Dad played them a song), both boys tried the harmonica themselves, then we all held hands and said a prayer, and then the boys went to bed in their shared room very peacefully. It was not only like an "ordinary" family, it was like a hallmark family!!! It was also a much needed oasis of peace.
For the moment, at least, little probably bipolar difficult child had Jekyll back! We just take it one moment at a time and deal with whatever we get at that point.
Cheers!
