sawyer is finally feeling better.
yay!
but, now we are dealing with the "after effects" of him being sick for a week.
it was a lot easier to tolerate his crying when i knew he felt awful.
now he's just crying because he's gotten used to being held a LOT.
joshua and bailey have added this into their prayers,
"i pray that sawyer would stop crying so much."
i feel bad for them.
{he gets a blotchy face like me...}
so this morning i put him in the walker.
he was safe {and contained}.
and joshua and bailey each got to pick a game for the 3 of us to play.
sawyer cried the entire time.
i don't enjoy this "weaning" phase.
but it's got to be done.
we're all going insane.
thankfully, he is sleeping GREAT these days, so we all have a couple breaks during the day!
{i know, i DO have a heart...those tears KILL me...but i also know this has to be done!}

so sad. :)
This is a very tough phase but you are definitely doing the right thing. I will pray for continued strength for you and the other kiddos and that Sawyer will "get it" quickly!! You are so sweet to warn us Grammy's but I think most of us would stand behind you and encourage you. You're amazing Courtney!
Poor thing. It's a tough life to be a baby!
it's pitiful, isn't it? I think the getting over sickness or getting back from vacation is the worst! callie's having a hard time with naptime today - she's so excited to be back in her room and it's taking lots of effort from me to get her to stay in her bed. sigh.. the price we pay! :)
I know all about those tears, but sometimes you just have to have a little space without someone constantly being attached to you! Since McKenna's basically been sick her whole life, we have terrible attachment issues! I'm no stranger to tears. You're doing a great job!
He'll survive! Good for you for putting the other kids first for awhile.
(still, poor Sawyer!)
