Yesterday I woke up without practically sleeping. Álvarito has been waking up crying for a while and waking up his sister. Then we have the night assured. Trianita had a tantrum at 130 in the morning, inconsolable and they both woke themselves up. Maridin had her crazy idea (which later turned out not to be so crazy), to put her in the car at 2am for a walk to distract her from her tantrum. She came back super calm and fell asleep. I couldn't believe it. But the child continued crying until 4am. He only cried every 15 minutes and kept saying “shhhh” to him hahaha… even so, we didn't sleep a wink.
When I woke up, again... Tri didn't want to eat breakfast or get dressed. It's as if I had had a sleepless night wanting to make a smoke bomb...
When I came back from school, I had a coffee and wanted to work. I was crying from sleep. I couldn't, but I didn't want to get into bed and waste the morning either, so I started painting a vine that I bought 5 months ago and hadn't gotten my hands on! hahaha…
I spent the morning as best I could and at nap time I fell exhausted. I gathered strength and went to the park. But at night, Tri (who ends up dead from school) hit her because she didn't want to eat dinner. There was no way... and of course I continued without much strength, I didn't know what to do. He threw the pasta, almost threw the milk, without stopping crying and infecting Alvarito with his crying. It was hard for me to finish the day, in fact, I had a huge pain in the pit of my stomach, which I got rid of by letting out a few tears after putting them to bed.
I didn't know what to do. Dinner time made me choke more and more, because there are almost always tantrums, so after crying a little to get rid of the stomach pain, I decided that I was going to make a super simple menu with things that they like to eat, so that That moment did not distress me or them. Below I put the result.
For me it is very important to tell it, talk to my friends and ask for advice, things that work for them and based on that to find the solution that works best for me. In this case I spoke with Ana, a friend who has 4 children and she told me “Tri, put a simple menu and enjoy dinner. They will start eating vegetables little by little.” So I did.
Thank you Ana!
