Carson

Carson was born in 2006. He was a good baby, he loved to eat, loved his brother and was on track for everything.

He was born at 39 weeks and 4 days. He was 9lbs even and 21in long. There were complications with the pregnancy and delivery. I had too much amniotic fluid where he was roasting, so it allowed him to move around too much and when I delivered him the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck. They took him away immediately and I didnt get to see him for 3hrs after he was born.

Carson has a bad temper, when he gets mad he throws a fit. He flails himself on the floor, screams (high pitched) at the top of his lungs and throws things. He can also sass like the best of them. He also likes to lash out at his other siblings.

He started tantruming when he was about 2 1/2, that year was the year everything changed for him. First, we moved him from the only place he could remember, then his older brother Chase started school and mommy and daddy brought 2 babies home.

It keeps getting worse and worse. I am working on ignoring him and for the most part he gets that I am not going to give in. There are days when he will cry for so long and so hard he tells me "I cant breathe I cant breathe", of course he is kidding but he seems to think it will make me go to him and give him what he wants. He is also a little OVER dramatic, like say for instance, he isnt going to his room, either my husband or I (usually hubby) have to carry him up the stairs to put him in his room, he will scream and cry and say things like "ow your hurting me" or "stop it, your hurting me". Things like that are ok at home but I am afraid that he will do it in public and someone will believe him over my husband or I and possibly call FCS (Family and Children's Services) on us.

As for everything else he is smarter than a whip. He started JK this year, the 2010/2011 year. He has never had any school problems at all, the teacher keeps telling me what a pleasure it is to teach him, always says how smart he is. He took the Brigance test last week and scored 92/100. For his age range the average score is 84/100.

Brigance testing is : Early detection of children with developmental-behavioral delays and disabilities.
