Seems like Olivia is having a regression this week, which is kind of 'normal' for her. We see this time and time again. We have a couple of good weeks with maybe some progression, and then she will suddenly slip back. The last few days have been tough - she's had some freak outs where she screams in a guttural way while saying 'sing old mcdonald, SING OLD MCDONALD MUMMY!!'. If I sing Old McDonald, she will scream 'no' at me. It's exhausting because it's like stepping on eggshells. She won't play any games right now, she will only watch TV. She isn't talking as much as she was - she just scripts a bit but mainly makes weird sounds. She is just on edge all the time and in turn it makes us on edge. I have also noticed a lot more anxiety - she keeps hiding her eyes from bits of her shows and while we were walking to school she walked with her head buried in my side. Let's hope this phase passes soon.
