Stressful Day...

Today has been challenging. Erin-Elizabeth is normally a happy baby. Today she cried and cried and I could tell she wasn't comfortable. I felt bad for her. She would cry when I'd try to feed her. I didn't like that I couldn't comfort her. Harrison has had a lingering cold. He was upset and wanted his "mama" but I had to take care of Erin-Elizabeth. SOOO...of course I felt bad for Harrison. We got a little bit of time together when he refused to nap. And then there is Leyton. He has a major case of cabin fever and is bouncing off the walls. With all of Erin-Elizabeth and Harrison's crying I had a hard time focusing any attention on Leyton today. His behavior was challenging to say the least. After the kids all went to bed I do what moms do best. I felt guilty. I felt bad about not giving Leyton more attention, so I went up, woke him up, and spent some time hanging out in his room with him. He counted my teeth (random, I know), we talked, and I told him that I was sorry for being tired and boring today. Then we asked each other what our favorite part of the day was. He made me go first...so I told him my favorite part of the day was right then...laying and talking with him in bed. Next it was his turn. I was waiting for him to tell me something equally as sweet. His reply----"When I saw my daddy." Ouch...so much for a confidence booster. :)
