This morning was a nightmare with Mr. Emmett. He was beside himself all fricking morning long. He screamed, screamed and screamed a whole lot more. You would be shocked by just how draining this is for us as parents.

The issue seemed to revolve around his mouth hurting. He has a tooth coming in and as a result, he’s refusing to eat.

He melted down because he didn’t want anything for lunch but then he did. It was very clear that he was frustrated and simply wasn’t able to process anything. He did eventually make it to school but not before setting a tone for the day that is quite unpleasant.

I suspect that he’s in a fever cycle because it’s unusual for him to go this far off the rails, unless he’s in a flare.

I called the school to give them a heads up so they could be prepared. Emmett will likely do just fine but just in case.
