Rough Weekend.

This weekend was a little rough. Daddy had to close the store ALL weekend, so we really didn't get to see him that much. Last night, you and I were playing in your play area, and you kept hitting me in the nose. I know you're in a stage where you're reaching for things, including noses, so I tried to tell you "no." All of a sudden you had a pouty face on, and started crying. :( You then took your head, and threw it on my chest crying. I felt SOOOOO bad. I have said "no" in the past, but you had not really reacted this way. I really felt terrible. After you calmed down, we attempted to go upstairs, but Honey raced us up the stairs. I tripped on Honey. I think you were really scared. It was just an all around terrible night.

Today was a better day, but when you got up this morning and I was changing you, I told you "no" again because you were turning on the table. You started crying again. :( I felt SO bad and for the entire day, I was convinced that you hated me. Throughout the day I had to say "no" a few more times, but luckily, you didn't cry...you also didn't stop what you were doing, but at least I didn't feel as terrible!!!

I can't wait for the day when you understand what I am saying, and understand why I am saying them. I just feel so terrible when you cry. Breaks my heart.

You went right to sleep tonight, which was good! You have been having little issues here and there with being in your crib, in the dark, alone. I have a nightlight in there now, but I have seen these turtle lights that I may get you. It's a big turtle that has a light inside of it. It's supposed to be soothing. I stayed in your room a little longer this time while I watched you fall asleep. You took your bottle, and slowly leaned yourself on your side, still drinking. I turned on your music, and you seemed very calm. No fussing or anything!!!!

Sleep well - don't hate me for saying "no" to you. :(
