Sorry for the tough time. We got a little bit of the same thing going over here. AT least yr big and cuddly not all angular and knobby bone-ed like me!
Just read, in an article by Oliver Sacks, that though children don't form episodic memory until much later (i.e. they won't "remember if you are mean to them" at this age), core emotional memory is formed in the first two years of life. All this is to say, we should all take it easy and not push the kiddies too hard!

lucy is wiping us out every night, more patience than I, because she won't let me comfort her. If she is crying, and i try to hold her, she screams out "ayudame, ayudame" which is help me in spanish. cute, huh? especially at two in the morning... she then won't stop until patience holds her, and even then, tortures her for quite a bit...
