My DS (28 mo) has been overwhelming ever since he was born. The word "no" sends him into hysterics and he doesn't forget or get distracted like other little guys. An hour later he'll still be bent out of shape. When he's horrible he is the most horrible child ever and when he is adorable he is the most adoreable child ever, my little extremes baby.
His clothes have to be right, his food can't be too hot, and now he's decided he doesn't need to eat. Sigh... Oh and what is a full night's sleep? I don't think I've had one of those since he was born. Now we seem to have sort of solved the going to sleep thing with a night light. Before he would either scream and scream or just stand there and bounce forever.
Then there is his brother, 4yrs. They are my yin yang boys. Totally oppposite. However the older one is a TOTAL hypochondriac. One tiny scratch and his arm will fall off. Had to explain that to a teacher without saying he was paranoid, because he was in the room. That was amusing. It's worse if someone else gets hurt. He nearly has panic attack and is totally terrified and "can't watch."
