kyburgWhoops, don't spill it.
I actually thought we'd be skipping the anniversary-related anxiety this year with the kid. No such luck. Last night we had a kid afraid of his own bed, tearful and anxious who needed a lot of rechecks before falling asleep last night.
Maybe I'll find out about that party his foster family held the day before he was given to us. I sure hope so. My kid *loves* parties - but the actual reality of his own appears to trigger some pretty awful stuff.
We checked under the bed together (and bonus points, found a kitty there), did a lot of reassuring...but at the same time, balancing that out with 'not too much, that's the wrong message to send there' - you just don't win here. So help me, I find the person who explained zombies to my kid, I keel them. Don't worry baby - the kitty will get them!
Swear to God.
This is the point in the planning where I start making lists for each day - and each day is different, and the critical levels of getting those things done THAT DAY rises exponentially.
Today, I get more crap out of my house and to the storage unit. So help me.
