Something about the half-birthday

Okay, so I need to know: Has anyone else experienced a change in their child(ren) around the half-brithday? I was so relieved that Nicholas was obeying more frequently and seemed to be maturing since he turned three. Well, all of a sudden, we're back to the tantrums and disobedience! I was baffled until I read an article in Parents magazine that said that kids usually alternate between contentment and struggles every six months. Then it occurred to me that Nicholas just had his half-bd last weekend! Is this for real?

I hope so Bev! This would mean that around Christmas Caleb will be an angel again! Sorry you are on the down slope- I hope it lasts less than 6 months.
