Attachment Issues

It seems that every kid has something to which they are overly attached.  When Kai was younger, it was his hair.  We had some serious tantrums when it came to getting his hair cut.  One time he even grabbed the back of his neck and held on so hard that he left scratch marks.  I didn't notice them until we got home and I saw the little bits of blood.  Uggggh!  Well, for Finn, hair is not an issue, but rather it's his clothing that causes our problems.  He just doesn't like to get changed.  So, twice a day we have the potential for a melt down.  One particular night last week, I took off his shirt and tried to get him in his jammies.  He would not have it.  For some reason, I got distracted and ended up leaving the room.  He was still in his bedroom throwing a fit and digging through the hamper.  A couple of minutes later he comes out of his room like this.  Yes, this is the shirt he was wearing and yes he tried to put it back on.  Ahhhhh.....what am I going to do with this kid?  It's too hard not to laugh.


The shirt kept falling down and then he would just hike it back up.

Proud of himself
