As a dad of a 3.5 YO boy, I understand how it must have felt. These accomplishments like big boy beds and potties mean the world to these little guys.

Made me want to tear up some. Funny how when you have kids how these stories can hit home so hard.

On the coughing and itchy eyes, I'd try an allergist if you haven't yet. He might have an issue with dust, dander, or dust mites. They can give shots to deal with it.

Been to a doc about the terrors, really not much they can do supposedly you grow out of them.

Been to allergist he is allergic to mold, timothy hay, and cats. I have gone as far as having his room and the house tested for all three came back negative. He has medicated eye drops and takes Zurtac (sp). But the Zurtac was giving him horrible mood swings so had to take him off but it was helping with the coughing, sneezing, itchy eyes, etc...

It has just been a long road with him at times but again nothing like some parents have gone through.

1st and Monkeydad thanks for acknowledging.

It was sad because it was not a tantrum he was truly feeling sorrow which is painfully to see in little guys/gals.
