Ok what the hell is up with that?

Ok so what the hell is up with that? What? What could be causing the uncontrollable hyper state every freakin time we go or do anything.

I've noticed in the past while any day trip we take now involves a hell of a night. One day we took her to the lake swimming. Another day we took her to a park. Another day I took her to a movie. Twice now to my sisters pool swimming and BBQ. Then today it was a trip to the local museum and community playground.

All of these days have something in common... they have to end! And as each do it brings on uncontrollable tears and a headache. Then alone time to calm her down when we get home. Then bang... its baby talk time, running around like a wild animal... it takes over an hour to calm her down, jumping off furniture, riding the dog like a horse, tormenting her brother, running around the room, jumping on the bed, refusing to go to the washroom before bed time which means I have to drag her to the bathroom and tell her over and over again to use it. Then the repeat motions start... off and on off an on off and on go to the switch for the fan.... then the tickle of the feet... the sticking her feet in my face... then poking my nose... then jump up and down on the bed... roll over... roll back... switch the fan off and on off and on off and on... poke my nose, rub my feet. The the rhyming of words starts in baby tone voice too... repeating over and over and over again all the nursery rhymes she can remember.... then off the bed... on the bed... off the bed... run to the door, jump on the bed... run to the door, jump on the bed....

Its like a broken record of excitement... like this switch has failed to work in her brain and its running over and over again.

Its dark now so I turn off all the lights and start to leave the room... on a normal day of just not wanting to lye down that would involve a huge scream not on these days... its laughter... laughter... laughter... repeating words that make no sense. Doesn't bother her one little bit.

I noticed something strange tonight too.... after we were done at the playground I told her 3 times to get ready we had to walk over to catch the bus to meet Dad and finally it was like it clicked and right in the middle of walking over to the swing to get on it and not actually listen to me to get ready it was like a light bulb moment and she said "bus, bus, bus" three times and then headed in the direction of the bus stop. I thought... that's strange how she did that! And as we were walking she was almost like pulling away from me holding her hand... then as we were walking to the bus stop along the sidewalk she stopped and started to cry... she said the bus that went by went to fast and it made her head hurt but I think it was the "drop" of excitement that hit her. She was in tears and telling me how much she was going to gag and throw up all the way to meet Dad. She then got mad at me on the bus cause I didn't tell her the seat to the right of me became free and no one would be sitting beside her... she told me sitting to the other side of me where there were people made her feel "oh I don't know Mommy just made me feel... and then she shook and shivered".

Interesting... yeah not so much.. hard to deal with... you bet! So difficult to determine.. was that bad behaviour or something else going on... that laugh is stuck in my head... that baby voice repeating those words over and over again....

What the hell was that?
