Cry me a river… Victor!

 Just recently, well I say that but it has probably been going on for the last 4 weeks, Victor cries and cries from the moment he rises from nap time until he has dinner.
I feel I have tried everything and I have checked everything.

At first we blamed it on the teeth. Where the hell are they, these flipping teeth??!! If that's teething, they must be coming from the bottom of his toes for not making a quicker appearance! If we decide to rule out the teeth, there is the possibility that he might be hungry. Don't be fooled by that. I doubt that he is hungry after a fruit pot, a biscuit and a beaker of milk, or at least not just after. So hunger is sort of ruled out too, especially if you consider that he manages to cry in between mouth fulls.

Then there is the possibility of pain maybe. We had a doctor appointment, two in fact in the last couple of weeks and they all ended up with the doctor looking at me wondering "why are you here weirdo? You are filling the space of someone who could genuinely be ill?".

So what am I suppose to do? I suspect greatly that it is attention seeking. I tell you why, simply because he cries and cries. He rolls around the whole lengh of the house. Then he encounters a toy, my bag, something fun on TV or the dog and suddenly the tears stop. It seems that someone just turned the tap off and the volume down. For as long as our eyes don't meet he plays and even laugh or chat to himself.

BUT suddenly I look at him. The second I do that I catch myself thinking "WHY DID I DO THAT??!!". That's when he starts again. His face creases everywhere and he wails as loud as he can. Then he walks to me arm out streched and he begs me to take him in my arms. And I do, of course I do. I am his mummy! And I can't possibly leave him smear snot all over the rug or the sofa, I much prefer it on my shoulder, much much easier to clean!

The minute I pick him up, it stops. The silence returns and then it is on his terms. He points in the direction of the computer "No darling, not the computer" of he starts again "wahwaaaahhh". So ok the computer if you like, but for crying out loud (no play on words here, promise) just ZIP IT! Then that's enough, he wants to go back to the floor. It is very immense pleasure that I put him back on the floor, but then here we go AGAIN!!!

This lasts until Craig comes home EVERY SINGLE EVENING!!

What shall I do?!!!
