Angelo's Bad Report

Dear Monster, 

So I am updating your mom on our day today.  This is what I shared:

Angelo has been all over the place, not too intense, but what he has been saying has been all over the place. He has been defiant, "I want it right now," he has been super affectionate, telling me he loves me multiple times, not to leave him, that he is scared of Monsters and that he wants me to protect him, telling me that I am mean, just all over. Again, not too intense, no screaming for example, or shouting, but just a lot of back and forth. He did start to cry when I told him he wasted too much time and that we would not be playing. But he calmed down and then just played with bubbles. I don't think all these behaviors were related to dinner time, I just think he is exhausted from what you described last night and it affected him today. Who knows. In counseling, he pretended to be the baby, and wanted his own place away from his mom and his dad. He even pretended to have the baby hit mom and dad, and Nicole saw my concern and stepped in to remind Angelo this is just play and we cannot do this outside of play. I told Nicole that maybe it had something to do with Angelo getting picked up when Tanya and you were at the house. Nicole said that is a possibility, but also that this is the first time Angelo has a little tiny baby house, which may have also prompted that behavior. Again, who knows. And then Angelo loved the game. Monster is wonderful, yeah, he has a lot on his little mind, but we love him and we will get him through it. Oh, so Angelo was saying that I am mean, and I asked if he thought Daddy was nice, and with attitude he told me "no," a few times. So I said "ok," real Antony Garcia style. So I started to scratch his back, and after one minute I stopped. He asked me to scratch his back please, and I said no, because Daddy is mean. Little jerk laughs and says, "I was just kidding," and Daddy scratched his back again.
