One Step Forward, Two Steps Back

It is amazing how one two-hour visit can derail all progress that has been made thus far.  The little guy has been coming around and seemed to be adjusting better.  He even said "Up" yesterday when he wanted to get in his highchair for lunch.  He has been throwing fewer fits, and knows when he is doing something he shouldn't and has started redirecting himself.   He still has moments, but it was getting better.

Today he had a visit with family, and it seems that all progress has been lost.  At first he was happy and smiley, playing- and then it all turned around.  I think it was a matter of thirty minutes before it started going down hill.  He started arching and throwing himself to the floor, screaming and crying, throwing things, and hitting.  I am hoping that he is just tired and it has been a long day, but I am discouraged.  I honestly don't think I can start all over again.  It's depressing really.
