Kids vs Weather

Fact or Fiction: Weather Fronts affects Kids?

A question pondered at our house each time a weather front or significant change is approaching. Our pair seem to be more tuned up, wild, full of cabin fever, vim and vineagar as fronts approach, more so in winter  than summer. So, is the front affecting their behavior or are we just more in tune with the behavior changes blaming it on the weather?

The recent out of ordinary Julia......she has been an awesome sleeper since the beginning! Bless her and bless us ( we never had to walk the floor with sleepless nights)...two nights in a row (at home, no routine changes, vacations, diet changes, etc...we are big on routine at our house!), she woke in the middle of the night crying...not just crying but large, sobs, tears, almost hyper-ventalating and clung to me like a spider monkey. She was not letting go of me for ANYTHING, her little arms and legs wrapped around me as tightly as possible...yes, I caved and held her the remainder of those two nights (we have vowed to not let our kids sleep with us for many reasons but there are exceptions.....)daybreak came and she was happy go lucky again, never missing a beat...Weather, teeth, seperation anixety, night terrors, we will never know what threw her sleep into a two night spiral.

Layton...well Layton....he is our talkative, active, guy anyway...Today he has been talking lots extra and been extremely difficult to "get through to"...we are working on learning the letters in his name, 6 letters.....today was epic fail with mother and son both in tears. We will get there, eventually...he has learned colors, shapes, numerous farm machinery pieces, can count to 10 but letters are getting the best of us today...

Time will tell! Tomorrow is supposed to be super windy as a cold front sweeps the plains. Will my sweet, loving, precious children be back to "normal" or will we still have "weather"challenges.
