Oh, Holly, this all brings back memories (some of them very recent)

I think I mentioned going through some of these same kinds of things with our oldest, who is now 10. Ever since he was a baby, he was always high-strung. Although he does have tendencies toward ADHD and OCD, his problem is mostly anxiety. He had a couple of really tough years trying to "get himself together" and feeling really down on himself. Then this year he has had such a turnaround. Everything isn't perfect by any means, but he is tons happier and calmer. I know I'm rambling, but I just wanted to let you know that we've all been thru things with our kids to varying degrees and we would never think Tyler is a freak. I think I will see a lot of my own DS in him when I finally get a chance to meet him.

You're doing great.
