Gosh I tried to reply to you ages ago but have had huge problems with logging in. I'm sorry you haven't had support on here!

I have a 2 yo too (2 yrs this weekend)...we haven't had full on screaming, no, but he certainly has been unsettled lately. Bedtimes have been hard because it can take so damn long one day -and be fine the next. He's up and down so much. One day he's happy as, and the next day he's an emotional wreck...

I figure it must just be an "ages and stages" thing. Plus I'm heavily pregnant and I doubt that would help him.

But I think your instincts are right that he might be struggling to cope with something at the moment. How are things going now?

I think phases don't last lnoger than a month or so usually..."THIS TOO SHALL PASS" is usually my mantra even though some of them drive me up the wall! I hope things are settling down. I'd go with what your instinct is - you know him best - and if he just needs extra time with you or extra help at bedtime, then know that its a small thing in the span of his life but will contribute so positively to his sense of safety and trust.

GL!
