The Waiting Is The Hardest Part

My baby has decided that child development experts are correct, 10 months is exactly the right age to form a separation anxiety.
He wouldn't let me put him down yesterday at all, he cried when he was in his high chair and I left the room, he cried when it was nap time, he cried when I went to the bathroom.
I basically sat on the living room floor all day while he sat on my lap. Occasionally he was adventurous and would crawl a few feet away, only to crawl back after a minute or two. It is the strangest thing.
Last night after THREE glorious hours of trying to put him to sleep only to have him wake up the second I put him down in his crib, I just let him sleep in the bed with me.
Three hours is my limit.

I have been a bad commenter lately, I know, but I am reading your blogs and I will be back in action after we move next week.
Hopefully I will document our move with pictures and/or video for you guys. I promise to show you the strange thing I have in my bed side table before I pack it too!


I can offer you this today, here is a picture of all of our garbage after Christmas:


next time we have people over for Christmas we must have them take their garbage home with them. This pile took over my garage.
Sorry Earth.

  1. That's a lot of garbage! Oh, my!

    I hope you're able to get some things done between crying jags. I well remember those days. I'd have my son attached to me in the Snuggli for hours just so I can do something like wash the dishes.

  2. Nothing like peeing on the toilet while holding the baby.

    Done it many times. A mommy has no privacy.

  3. lol! That is funny! I would have them take their garbage too! Seperation Anxiety stinks. I've had that with nearly all of our kids. My daughter even kicked a nursery worker at church in the face once when I dropped her off. Not fun.

    Separation anxiety sucks donkey poop. I understand completely. Dont feel bad for letting the baby sleep with you, sleep is important, get it any way you can!!

  6. Oh that seperation anxiety is enough to make you cry. My daughter had it so bad I learned to go to the bathroom holding her. Now I think, why did I do that, she would have lived if I just put her down for 2 minutes. My son, very different. He couldn't care less. Crazy how very different kids can be. Oh, and I would like to apologize to Mother Earth along with you. I had just as big of a pile in my garage. Happy moving.
