I've given up worrying about if we are bad parents, or why Jackson is throwing continuous tantrums, and what we can do to change all that. The real answer: there are true dips and dives, though mostly high peaks in a child's development, and I shouldn't sweat it too much. I have a great tendency to over analyze and try to get to the bottom of everything. I know that about myself, so I won't go into an entire dissertation about why I think that is true, even though I want too. However, I do need to one thing: I need to chill.
I need to pick him up each day with the greatest smile and loving arms, and hope for the best. I have to stop taking it personally. If I was 18 months, with a small array of words to use in order to get my point across, I'm sure I'd be doing much more than throwing myself on the ground in protest.
So here we go, moving forward and doing our best. The best is all that you can do, and that my friend, is my lesson for the day.
