Something happened this week: Archer 180'd into crazyville. Needless to say, potty training has been put on hold for the time being (which, by the way, THANK YOU ALL for your advice. You were so helpful!) in order to make way for non-tantrum training, which, yeah... Bummer.
While
last week Archer was coming home from school with pictures of "baby
sister," this week Archer has cried hysterically every morning when I
drop him off, something neither of us has dealt with since January when
Archer started preschool.
Even today, which should have been a most exciting day (Show and Tell Thursday,
y'all!) was not. In fact Archer didn't even WANT to do Show and Tell.
He also didn't want to get dressed or leave his room to go to school.
"I don't want it!" he screamed.
Archer,
who usually loves school and waves me off like I'm some kind of
embarrassment, has suddenly decided he cannot be without me and it's
making me very nervous. Archer suddenly has no interest in "the baby"
... No interest to kiss my belly or kiss her basinet before bed. No
interest in singing her songs (which he has been doing every night for
the past few weeks.) Archer wants nothing to do with anything "new" in
the house. He only wants Mommy.
This baby is coming very
soon. I know this to be true because A. my OB said "this baby is coming
very soon" yesterday and B. *cough* Bloody Show *cough*... which, can I
digress for a moment so we can please discuss "bloody show" being one
of the most frightening things to say aloud? I do realize Bloody Show
would be a great Brit-pop band name but ew! It's worse than saying
"mucous plug!"
