[QUOTE="Shari, post: 368782, member: 1848"] As Linda used to say, normal is just a setting on the dryer... And as I say, if you gave me a "typical" kid at this point, I would thoroughly screw it up, cause I have lost all sense of "normal". I visited a friend last week and her almost 3 year old threw an epic temper tantrum. On the floor, face down, beating his hands and feet and head, screaming. In public. And it wasn't until I looked up at her again and saw her look of horror, and her husband dash in to remove the kiddo to somewhere else that it even registered on my radar. The very first day that I took Wee in to meet his teacher at the early intervention preschool, he had a meltdown that resulted in the teacher and I restraining him on the floor. She sat there and talked to me like there was nothing but a plate of cookies between us, and I was virtually in tears. I told her later that I admired that, and someday, hoped I could get there. Guess I made it. Not sure it was a good goal. [/QUOTE]
