I have a new little boy, 19 months, this is his 5th day. He was wonderful M-W, napped great, on a mat, ate well, played well. Yesterday, he was miserable from 10am-nap, slept well, and then cried from 3:30-pick up. He is congested, but no fever, and not enough snot to exclude, he was falling asleep in my lap when his mom got here at 5. He did have some loose stool this morning, I don't know him well enough to know if that's normal.
Today, he was been horrid. He's been pushing the older kids, snatching from the babies, crying all the time. He was hysterical while we were doing large motor play, so I put him on his mat (this was 11:30), he fell asleep. I woke him up for lunch at 12, he cried at the table, but did eat a bit. At story time he sat with the million mile stare, until I put him down for him nap. He has been screaming since. He was crawling all over the nap room, jumping up and down, poking other kids. I moved him to a crib (which will not be an option next week, I have a new baby coming). He is in the crib jumping up and down crying. None of the other 6 kids are able to sleep, they are all up, most of them are crying.
Should I send him home? This is ridiculous! Or should I just keep swimming, since he's new, maybe having a bad day?
I feel awful, I am going to be sending 6 cranky kids home today b/c they are not napping.
I am about to cry myself!!
