What helped me deal with Separation Anxiety from my kid
In my last post, I discussed how attached my son has become to me and how my trip to Jacksonville to visit my parents has been FABULOUS!
We are now on Day 9 and I can say that it has been a great success.
If you missed my previous post, you can check it out here.
Nicolas now will go with all of my family members including some strangers that visit my parent’s store.
On Day 5 I was able to get my nails done. Honestly, I was very apprehensive about it. The whole time I kept wondering, if he was okay, crying, missing me. It wasn’t the most relaxing experience but I managed to enjoy the time off. (Who am I kidding? That was fun & stressful all at once!)
I never realized how hard separation anxiety was, and that I could change it
I know that taking time to take care of yourself is imperative for a mother and I have been totally neglecting myself. I’m thankful for the little breather. It’s great advice but we’re mostly known for not taking advice even it’s good, only when you’re in too deep you realize, Oh crap! I should have done that before.
But here I am, typing this lovely post in my beautifully painted nails. My son will grab my hand and examine it as if it’s not mama’s hands. Maybe he thinks it’s candy. LOL.
Onto bigger & Better things!!! What I’m working on next is Spa Day! Massage, facial, and nails again? Don’t mind if I do.
This has been so great. I’m loving having my family around, Nicolas is also having a blast. He got to meet his dog sisters hehehe Minnie & May and so far he hasn’t really had any interest in them, but that is good news. No crying is always good news. He has been sleeping very well.
No nighttime feedings! All in all, it’s been a pleasure. Either my parents have to move close to me or we have to move to where they are.
I would be able to reclaim some of myself back.
Thanks for stopping by! I’ll keep you guys posted on that Spa Day!
I’m also working on a Mommy & Me giveaway, getting your little ones and mom some goodies for free! Who doesn’t like Free Stuff?
I’ll keep you all updated.
Thanks for stopping in!
xo,
Ellen

Tenho que admitir que estar perto dos meu pais me ajuda MUITO! Eu acho que foi a melhor coisa que aconteceu na gravidez, apesar de não muito planejado e de ultima hora, Deus sabe o que faz! Hoje penso que se fosse pra ter outro eu não gostaria de estar longe e sem ajuda… Aproveita bastante e abuse da vovó! Elas adoram e as mamães também! 🙂
Eu to com uma preguica de ir pra casa, its a long drive mais tenho q ir soon. No more babysitters.. ai ai.
