Aiden is beyond miserable these days. I can barely handle it to be honest. I am hoping that he is getting his two year molars, so there is a cause for this, but am not sure.
The one thing that is awful is that he is screaming now every morning when we have to take him to daycare. He just cries and cries and this morning actually threw himself on the floor and screamed.
Is this a phase? Is anyone else going through this? It's to the point that I am wondering if we should call the pedi, but as a FTM, but I'm not sure they will say anything other than he's a two year old, and that's what they do.
Re: the epitome of cranky
I vote phase. And I blame everything on molars these days, lol.
B went through a no-daycare phase that coincided with his transition to the 2-yo room. We did a few things to try to help:
- at night he'd get an extra bedtime story about a little boy who went to daycare and had lots of fun doing whatever they do in his daycare classroom
- we had talks about how he had to go to daycare because Mommy and Daddy went to work. If he stayed home alone he'd have no one to play with, but if he went to daycare he could play with his teachers and friends
- we planned ahead for exciting things that he could tell his teachers at drop-off. This morning he told them that he got to drive the ambulance at the Children's Museum this weekend. This one was to help him transition into the classroom - if he's okay once he gets to daycare, this might not be as helpful.
I hope it's a short phase for you all.
