Rigid Thinking

I hate Jamie being upset in the morning, but his rigid thinking often causes tears. This morning I helped him put his pants on. I pulled one foot through before he put his other into the leg hole. I usually let him put both feet in and then lift him up to pull his pants all the way up. He had a total melt down. Even after he was completely dressed he continued to cry about it. It makes me so frustrated when he continues to cry about something that has already been done.



This is not the only example of how he might cry when something is already done. He cries if you drive past something he wants you to see. Even if you saw it and tell him so he will cry if you didn't acknowledge it before passing it. He cries if you put something up in the wrong place. Even if you put it into the right place he might cry for quite awhile because you made a mistake in the first place. It happens so much that I can't even think of all the examples.
