Last Night

I don't know what caused this, but last night she was constantly restless. I got no sleep. I'd like to say that adding milk back in the diet was responsible, but I don't think so. After going dairy free for so long with no results, I decided to gradually add it back into her diet. I started Saturday night. Yesterday, Sunday, she wanted to try to sit in the regular part of church instead of the quiet room. She did great!! She talked a few times, but was able to sit for an hour without being disruptive!!! This was a huge milestone for her. Her behavior was pretty much the same yesterday except when we were doing our NR. There was a bizzare turn of events. I didn't post this video, but on one of them, she tells me, "This baby is tired." I didn't know that was going on and thought she was being whiny. I was imitating the sounds she was making to try to get her to laugh and come out of it. I noticed tears and it had turned into sort of a cry. I tried to comfort her and she didn't let me. She asked her big sis(who was there to video) to be a baby and cry with her. She just looked at me and I whispered her to just go with it. I just watched not knowing what to do and she finally said, " Comfort us mom!" and so I did. She continued for a while and then it was over. I'm still not sure what to make of it.

I'm thinking it might be because of the new fetal pattern we have been doing. In the past, the new pattern has caused a reaction right away, so I'm really not sure. What makes me think it could be that pattern is that the past couple of days she hasn't wanted to do that one. Maybe we'll back off a little and do less reps. On a better note, yesterday before church she spontaneously said she loved me a bunch of times. Maybe this big growth in attachment is having a little conflict within her. I wish I could take it all away. How can a 5 year old understand all that is going on when a team of adults and her own parents can't quite grasp it?
