The two year anniversary of Little Minnow moving in.
We both agree we've come a long way and in the last week of 'seconds' I've had a lot of 'I feel very safe with you' and on one occasion 'I am very attached to you'.
So here's hoping I'm doing something right. Truth will only tell when he's about 25 me thinks! :-)

And it was a huge struggle in the early months, in fact up til about 20 months, melt down after melt down.
The worst bits were the three hours of bedtime behaviour. But I can truly say (and believe) we've finally turned the corner.
Now just waiting for the onslaught of teenage years :-)

I'm moving abroad - without the children ;-) in reality making sure I have enough well skilled support (friends/workers) so that I can frequently get away and recharge. Definitely believe three hours away is able to produce one hour of therapeutic parenting |

Ooohh bags I visit!?!?!? Hope it's somewhere hot!?!?  
But seriously you are quite right... I need time outs to re-group... Sometimes I think I would go bonkers ( ok more bonkers ) if I didn't....

Congratulations esty. may the next year be even more meltdown free. we are down to around 4/5 a year...mind you they were really majör messes in Enigma's case. Whizzy's are within an acceptable range.
Ä° really need more time outs though...Ä° can fell Ä° am over involved, over invested and cant always see straight. How is your teen, esty?

My teen the Big Fish is going through a growth spurt which coupled with his very complex cerebral palsy means he is back to struggling to cope with his own body which means he's very unsettled and vocal about it. Teenage wise I'm very lucky as he won't go through many of the usual stresses of trying to ditch the beloved mother. In fact he probably will never leave ;-) AND he is sleeping more :-D
