The adjustment to returning to school has been pretty rough on the kids so far. I'm sure it also has a lot to do with the fact that things inherently change at home as well. I know I am stricter with routines and chores during the school year than I am during the summer. So, I think I'm seeing the fallout from transitioning to new routines and changes in general.
Kaeli isn't terrible. She does cry alot more during the afternoons and she's just much more emotional in general. She has said at least once a day this week "why is everyone stressing me out".
Paige is the real problem for now. She isn't outwardly emotional, but she never has been. I think she keeps it in and that's why we see most of her issues appear at night. Before bed she gets bad stomach aches. Then she wakes up several times a night just crying out in her sleep. Monday night she was only up 3-4 times. Last night she was up 3 times before 10:30. I don't know exactly how many more times she got out of bed after that, but it seemed like a lot. She says she had a bad dream, but then she can't remember the bad dream. My concern is that she must be exhausted during the day. I did call the Dr's office today to discuss it with him and I'm waiting for a call back. I don't know what options we have, but we really need to do something for her. At least she hasn't had a pee accident yet. Maybe we have at least worked through that one!
Ryan is doing fine. He's crying at drop off, but I know he gets over it quickly. He has been somewhat difficult, but really not much more than usual.
