It was another beautiful day to enjoy the park yesterday. Megan learned how to ride her bike without training wheels this week so we have been letting her practice as much as possible. We went to a park that specifically had a sidewalk surrounding the playground so that she could go around and around while Joshua played. The day was not the enjoyable experience I was hoping for unfortunately. Megan has such anxiety about Joshua and being away from me that it was overwhelming for her. She is such a protector of Joshua that if she can't see him, she has what I have to just call an anxiety attack. If she loses sight of me, the same thing. I have no idea why this happens to her or how to help her but after being extremely angry at her several meltdowns, I had to think about how she must be feeling inside in order to make her behave that way. I always remind her that I will never leave her by herself and that with Joshua, I am the parent. She doesn't have to worry about him like she does. I talked about it when I blogged about our zoo trip as well. She has a physical reaction to losing sight of me or worrying about Joshua, she actually gets a stomach ache and clutches it. I just don't know what to do for her. It can't be good for her though.
So, that being said, these are the pictures I got before she really hit maximum meltdown. She is so proud of herself for riding without training wheels, it's very cute. Once she did it, she hasn't looked back. She can now start on her own and she's getting more and more comfortable. She's doing a very good job!
Mister is completely opposite. He is a very easy going, adventurous guy. He'd walk a mile away from me exploring and not be worried a bit! He just likes to get out and run around whether I'm there or not!
