So damn accurate...

We are desperate... she just spent 2 hours screaming on the bed finally decided to sleep at 11pm.. was upset about EVERYTHING. So tired.... DD T wants to get her checked .. for any behavioural issues you know.. coz it's been too taxing for the both of us since she was little... then there is the breath holding thingy that we are concern about coz its seems this tantrum throwing might just trigger it again.

We need to get it done right....or get the expert to tell what is it that we are doing right or wrong. We rather get the problem fixed when she is small then when she decides to lie on the floor of the shopping centre refusing to move.. omg I will DIE there!!

Though I don't know if the expert will think that this 2 crazy parents who got too much money to spare and end up telling us that 13 months is way too young to diagnose anything. Then come on man.. why is BB[V] so darn difficult and different from her peers?? There is so much I can read and find in the web or library. I am in need for explanation, coz I don't like what we are going through.

How? Tell me she is not one child that is full of pattern... right?

somehow I always find V's behaviour very familiar...looks like we are in the same boat!!!

I feel C's behaviour is very similar to V's too!

I got pretty embarrased initially when C starts to shout scream at top of his voice..

Now? Heck care.... we have become thick-skinned and oblivious to people's stares
