I see that Little Man screams when you go get him at night. Grayson did that for a few years. I couldn't hold him, hand him his bottle, snuggle, read a book...nothing if L was around. He would scream/bat the bottle away/etc. I remember one night she was out late and he would not go to sleep in his bed. I finally brought him to our bed to snuggle and go to sleep. He just kept screaming for L. As soon as L walked in the bedroom door and picked him up, he put his head on her shoulder and fell asleep in less than 10 seconds. I totally get what you are saying about the bruise to the ego.
Re: N2A
Thank you! Seeing the way Grayson and Carter love you gives me something to look forward to...especially when wanting to comfort a son who may not be feeling well or is scared. It would be horrible if I just scared him more.
