Who is this?

For the last month or so there has been a new
development in the Westerhoud's home.

Our child decided not to nap anymore.

She just stopped.

My afternoon of getting tons done on my own has stopped.

And now what we have on our hands is a Wild child.

No one told me this could happen.

That their little sweet personalities just would
change overnight to what some call

'the witching hour'

'more wine hour'

'arsenic hour'
'the breakdown'

Many have shared names with me

as I started to ask

Is this normal?

All of a sudden between 12-1pm and then 4- 5pm or so

it's like the world is ending around here.

There is now crying and slamming the body on the floor and

More crying

Grabbing on to my legs for dear life

And there is no warning

No leading up to this

Nothing.

And of course the 'breakdown' always happens at the most inconvenient time.

Like right after church as we are trying to leave.

Or when we are trying to go out for supper.

Or trying to give her a bath.
Or someone stops by for a visit.

Why wont she just nap already!!

Yes, I know its minor in the big scheme of
what is going on in the world.
