This idea started last night after my middle child (the red-head) threw a fit at bedtime that lasted 1 1/2 hours. This was my idea to blow of some steam, to rant, to pray in written words, somewhat anonomously. But this morning it has turned into an issue with my 9-month old.
I feel like I'm failing.
This morning she has done nothing but cry and scream, after throwing up some banana she choked on. I know she is tired but she won't lay down and go to sleep. Which is always the problem once they learn to pull up to standing. She knows very well how to sit down, but for whatever reason she is not lettign go this morning. I tried rocking, wraping her up, rubbing her back, and keeping my hands on her while she lays in her crib.
Now I'm having a melt down of my own. I know my children. Yet, why do I feel like I'm not doing something right? What am I missing? I know she is tired, I know she is teething therfore probably a little extra cranky. I put some orajel on her gums to try to sooth the immediate pain. Wait....do I hear quite? It has been over an hour that this has been going on. Now don't misunderstand; I did not let her cry for an hour. I was there with her every few minutes, tring to soothe and calm her down. Oh, wait, no. In all my tears....it is time to go try again.
