I love child 2 with all my heart but he is by most my most difficult child. From the time he was born he has been a handful a chucky baby at best(he had pyloric stenosis http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001965/ ), That fixed but he was still chucky and when he was 8 months old we found out he was actually allergic to milk proteins and I was actually making him sick by breast feeding him. Specialist formula and no more chucking he was walking at 9 and a half months and running soon after and has never seemed to stop. He was a major runner(he would run everywhere) and could get naked, climb a fence(3 feet) and be running down the street in seconds flat from about 18 months old. It wasn't unusual for it to be seen me running after him and him streaking down the street.
His other favourite pass time was pulling things apart to see how the worked, we lost Radio's, DVD players, alarm clocks and the list goes on and on and on. Or he was climbing things he should be and breaking a TV which almost crushed him. He is a boy of many trials but some many more great delights. He is so loving and snuggle with his mum, He loves his friends fiercely and is so loyal. He will be nasty to his sisters but won't allow others to do so.
But there is this total other side to him which is the violent child. We had him assessed and he isn't on the spectrum he is just a high spirited child. The child he was becoming wasn't the child I wanted to raise he was out of control but we got help and finally things are starting to settle down. We did get him and us professional help and they were great and we have now also gotten him into Martial Arts which is helping his self esteem and his self control, there are still many moments where he can get out of control but they are shorter and not as explosive as they use to be but the more calm and rational child is more there as well.
While he is my most difficult child he is also the most loving, sweet and giving boy as well. And I love him with all my heart.
