    Broadly fine, though sometimes it’s feeling like the dog in the burning house…

    My oldest (4.5) is proving to be extremely difficult right now at daycare with hitting others and they’ve been sent home twice now for being to disruptive at nap time (like running around and not settling down, keeping everyone up). Even when there’s no obvious trigger, just something strikes them the wrong way and it just spirals out of control. It’s taking quite the psychic toll on my wife and I right now dealing with what is essentially a “PIP” for our child. Youngest is just getting super cute and more talkative every day (turns 2 on Thursday). And we realized we’re like 60d away from #3 being here which has sent us into panic nesting mode.

      That sounds like so much all at once. Thank you for sharing the love and care you bring to your family life, even when it’s challenging.

        Thank you! Yeah, it’s a tough spot right now but I keep reminding myself this is temporary and in the long term, people generally aren’t the sociopaths that toddlers can be 😀
