Poor Lila. She's going through this screaming phase. Different things seem to set her off, then she can scream for hours. Hours.
She has had a cold, and I think she's teething. And getting ready to walk. So many changes! I can only imagine that she's overwhelmed.
Sometimes Hyland's homeopathic tablets help - Teething tablets, C-plus cold tablets, and Calms Forte sleep-well tablets are all in our arsenal. And I've had to get out the Bumps and Bruises arnica tablets, too. When Lila gets really upset, she bangs her forehead on the hardwood floors.
If this wasn't so sad, it would almost be funny. Today Lila screamed for about two hours for Randy. She was just irrate! She insisted on getting down from Randy's lap and crawled out of her room, screaming the whole way. She went to the carpet runner in the hall so she could bang her head there. The bruise on her forehead is turning purple, and I fear CPS will be at our doorstep.
Randy was gracious enough not to call with the news of Lila's difficult day until I was done teaching. We talked over the shrieking several times on my drive home, and I finally came up with the diversion that worked. Randy took her out to the van and let her play with her toys in the back. We sometimes do that in the morning after we wave good-bye to Randy and Nathan.
I wish Lila could still go with me on my teaching day away, but she *really* gets frustrated in my teaching room. She wants to be out and about, not sharing my attention in a tiny, stuffy room. I know this, but I still miss her while I teach.
