My little girl

My precious princess


I am hesitant to write this but feel I need to really get it off my chest and see if anyone can relate. So please just know from the get go, I adore my child!

But man oh man is she driving me insane!! :) My sweet Kinsey is 2.5 and by all means in her Terrible 2s. So I do give her some benefit of the doubt- daily. She also has many diagnosed allergies to food, mold, animals, and outdoor enviromental allergens.  So if too many of those stack up, it is no wonder she has bad days. Anybody would. With that said. She is having some major meltdowns. I am at a serious loss as to what to do with her.

She was seeing an allergist regularly and has an appt this coming Thursday. But so far all he has done for her is suggest supplements and vitamins. So for several months she has been taking- Claritan, D3, Omega3 fish oils, Acidopholus/Probiotic, Multivitamin, and Fiber gummy.  She was also taking a Singular every day but it will cost us $130 a month and it didn't seem to help her as much as we would want. She also has Flonase and Nasonex nasal sprays. The allergist we have been seeing doesn't have any other suggestions for her and she is the exact same she was a year ago when we started with this.

I took her to a ENT yesterday and he said that she looked great, and if he didn't know from me she had allergies- he would have never guessed. He said to just do some food eliminations and see if we can just take out a couple foods instead of worrying about too many foods and not getting the important ones out. Which makes sense to me.

Now for these tantrums. I do not know if it is stemmed from not feeling well/allergies, or her temperament. Its really hard to know, she since is 2 and could just be throwing normal tantrums. They are becoming very regular and daily. She gets very angry very quickly. She used to be such a happy little thing! I miss my sweet little girl. :(    She is to the point of screaming bloody murder over just about anything. If she doesn't get my attention right away when she gets mad- it turns into a full body all out fit where she ends up sweating and turning red. She has been getting mad at the store and not wanting in the cart and screams to get out. So I let her out, and then she falls flat on the floor and refuses to walk. So then I am so frustrated and she is frustrated. I am at such a loss with her right now.

My major issue is this. Do I hope this is a phase and it will end and go away with the next 2 years of her maturing?? Do I take her to the Pediatrician and tell him how she is behaving- yet again and hope he can help?? Assuming its her allergies and get her a new allergist?? What do I do!?
