• Jul. 24, 2007 - It's Happening again!!
Timmy seems to be going into his " old self " I don't know if it is the change in diet. He has always had a problem if too much starch, or processed sugars are in his diet!
We stopped getting so much dairy, juice etc...
cuz we saw them as pit falls for Timmy in particular.
But recently signed up for WIC again and so he has started expecting milk with cereal or on it's own. Plus there has been a lot of baked goods available to the kids.
When you combine the diet issues and me getting busy with things other the children themselves, It doesn't matter to them that you are doing something FOR them. They want their parents time, energy, and days full of activity whether they are ' planned ' activities or not.
Dad got a very full weeks worth of work which is an answer to prayer! BUT it seems there is always this downside of behavioral backlash.
When dad came home yesterday morning Timmy had been unable to sleep so dad read him chapter after chapter of the Bible. This seems to help a lot but of course dad wasn't able to go to sleep as early as he might have needed to.
When you can't juggle it all... then you can expect behavioral upsets and well that is were we are at once again!
Unfortunately it really effects the other children that may not be so worked up otherwise. Michalina imitates Timmy a lot. And even little Sophia that has a very sweet laid back approach to life gets feisty when noise level is up etc...
Oh, Lord let us get past this hurdle.
