I remember the lovely days when my daughter was 2, take her up to bed, lay her down to sleep and 8 out of 10 times she'd do so with no fussing, crying or screaming. It was blissful.
My son has just been non-stop today..constantly in my face, the minute I sit down climbing on me, putting his face in mine, he threw his white milk (in a cup) across the kitchen because it wasn't chocolate milk, stepped on the dog when she was lying down and then when I told him that was not OK he tried to hit me in the face. So after putting him in time-out on the stool and telling him it was not to OK to hit mommy (which he smiled at and said "OK, Mommy" like he ALWAYS does) he just fussed until I set him down after he asked if I wanted Kisses. He think's Kisses fix everything...it's darn cute.
Then up to bed we go and it started off bad and ended bad. We did our normal routine of reading and singing the "cat in the shoe" song and I noticed he had a bit of a wet diaper and since the last night he wet through onto the bed I thought I'd change it. Good Lord what was I thinking. He got up out of bed running around because that's what he does when he's not super tired and I changed his diaper (had to catch him first) to which he promptly screamed "I DON'T WANT IT!!, I DON'T WANT THE DIAPER" at least 30 times and ripped it off..he just sat there saying that over and over while playing with his penis and refused to let me put it back on until I got his old diaper and then I tried to trick him but he was too smart..for some reason he finally picked the dry diaper (thank god) and I layed down so I could put it on..and then we sang more songs and he wanted to nurse, which I said no to and offered water instead ( we have been working on the no nursing before bed and it's worked well the past week or 2) to which of course he started screaming and having a fit. So I left him screaming at the top of the gate, shaking it..he finally is in bed.
We played memory matching games, baked blueberry muffins and chocolate mint/hazlenut/coconut cookies. He was not deprived of attention. Perhaps he felt my anxiety today...I woke up last night to the sound of lip smacking (I can't stand repetitive noises) and have no idea if it was my husband or my son, and can't remember if my son had crawled into bed with us yet. He had what his doctor thinks was a complex partial seizure about 2 weeks ago and he has an EEg on Thursday, but my husband has sleep apnea, so it could very well be either of them and not knowing which one it was I feel very stupid. I'm guessing if it was loud enough to wake me up it was my husband, which means my husbands having seizures??.but I have been woken up by my son's snores before so I just do not know, it could have even been me I was so outta of it. Gonna go get a cookies n cream ice cream bar. (like i need it after all the cookies..*l*)

He's young too...may be hard to get a diagnosis. even if he has it. Good luck!!!
