Since the first overnight that we spent in the hospital with baby Isaac, my 3 year-old daughter Izzie has been acting in ways that are... out of character for her (to put it mildly). She's had at least one major meltdown each day, began wetting the bed at night, chose to sleep on her floor for a few days in a row, has been louder and much whinier than usual, etc. My husband and I have done everything that we can to maintain normalcy for her, as she still attends pre-school, visits the park every few days, and gets to play outside with her friends. So why all the fuss?!?!?!
Is it because she's 3, and toddlers are unpredictable? Is it because she suddenly has a crying, feeding baby brother in the house? Is it because it's summer and Mom is home now?
More important than pin-pointing the cause of the frustration would be to ask the obvious question: How do we make this better? Time? Patience? Routine? Candy?
Help! My 3 year-old has lost her mind, and mine is sure to follow!
