Alexandru


Oh the trouble! This sweet little boy is a twin and has a heart defect. His family still visits him occasionally. He has been so starved for attention that he has conditioned bad habits for himself. He throws horrible tantrum sometimes over a toy, or food and other times for no apparent reason. He will start banging his head on the floor or wall when really upset and it takes a lot to get him to stop. Like the other big kids in the Mobile infant unit, he is a bit of a playground bully. He steals toys from the other kids and then goes around whacking them on the head with it. They are usually nice hard toys like rattles or big blocks. This child keeps us running. He is probably the most emotionally draining. When he has a bad day we go back to the hotel completely drained. I am usually asleep by 8:30pm on those days.
