Separation Anxiety - Oh my!

I know it is healthy - apparently it means they are discovering they are their own being and not a part of us... but, wow.

(I know many of you, my husband included, just like to look at the pictures... so I will include a few pictures throughout this post ;-)


We went to Target and I find it funny that they don't have issues with not being able to see me when they are in the stroller. When we got home I took one out and the other one starts to scream bloody murder. I put the first one down and went to get the other one out of the car. The one I put down starts to scream bloody murder. I then had to carry the sacks in ... so now they are both screaming bloody murder with big crocodile tears streaming down their faces. I just wanted all of you to know my side of the story when CPS (Child Protective Services) comes and knocks on my door!!!!

I know exactly how you feel. I have a 15 month old who has the lungs of a rock star.. He is full of life and dosent let me forget it. As of now, he cries to sit on my laps to see what im doing on the comp. and this is every where I go or do. Ive thought to my self that "oh my God,people are going to hear his famous singing and well end up with a knock on the door one day." I guess its only natural.... Its because of the love and affection we give them. My baby is also attached to his three year old brother.(It helps in daycare knowing he has him around.)

"How Preemie Moms Are Chosen" by Erma Bombeck

Did you ever wonder how the mothers of premature babies are chosen?
Somehow, I visualize God hovering Earth, selecting his instruments for propagation with great care and deliberation. As he observes, he instructs his angels to take notes in a giant ledger. "Armstrong, Beth, son. Patron Saint...give her Gerard. He's used to profanity." Finally, he passes a name to an angel and smiles.
"Give her a preemie."
The angel is curious. "Why this one God? She's so happy."
"Exactly," smiles God. "Could I give a premature baby a mother who knows no laughter? That would be cruel."
"But does she have the patience?" asks the angel.
"I don't want her to have too much patience, or she'll drown in a sea of self-pity and despair. Once the shock and resentment wear off, she'll handle it. I watched her today. She has that sense of self and independence so rare and so necessary in a mother. You see, the child I am going to give her has a world of it's own. She has to make it live in her world, and that's not going to be easy."
God smiles. "This one is perfect. She has just the right amount of selfishness. "
The angel gasps, "Selfishness! Is that a virtue?"
God nods. "If she can't separate herself from the child occasionally, she will never survive. Yes, here is a woman whom I will bless with a child less than perfect. She doesn't know it yet, but she is to be envied. She will never take for granted a spoken word. She will never consider a step ordinary. When her child says momma for the first time, she will be witness to a miracle and know it. I will permit her to see cleary the things that I see - ignorance, cruelty, prejudice - and allow her to rise above them. She will never be alone. I will be at her side every minute of every day of her life because she is doing my work as surely as she is here by my side."
"But what about her Patron Saint?" asks the angel, his pen poised in the air.
God smiles.
"A mirror will suffice."
