Seriously, I almost feel like Noah is reverting to newbornhood.

Yesterday when I picked him up from day care, he sobbed, threw himself on the ground, and didn’t want to leave. He calmed down in the face of bribery, provided kindly (to me) by another toddler parent — but then when the bribe cookies ran out, he went right back to hysteria.

I’m glad he likes it, but I could really deal with less crying.

This morning, Noah cried hysterically after waking up, demanding his breakfast instantly. But then refusing to let me change his overnight diaper — to the point of hitting me and earning an (even more hysterical) time out. Then again about going to day care. He didn’t stop crying until we were half-way there.

This afternoon, he cried about leaving again. So much that I had to pick him up, carry him to the car, and wrestle him into the car seat. He continued sobbing that he wanted to go to “Miss Shirley’s house” until we were about 6 blocks from home. Then he just whimpered it until we were inside the house and he got distracted by his train table.

More crying at bedtime, and again and again after bedtime.
Enough. Already. Please.
