kyburgJust when I'm sure I'm over-reacting (or more to the point, overthinking) to kid's need for stability in 'who's around me that I know' - I get a night like last night.
After being home all day (and kid is at preschool), Jim decides that the best time to be seen at Kaiser for his cough is AFTER he's brought the kid home, and while I'm putting him to bed for the night alone.
Hello, recipe for night terrors much? Kid also hadn't taken his nap at school, so not only was he hungry, he was tired and couldn't possibly stay awake long enough to wait for Jim to come home before keeling over in place.
Having me there was just about okay - except he kept half-waking looking for Daddy about four times inside of the two hours I was without Jim, and two more after he got home.
Nope. We don't leave this kid alone going to sleep or in stress situations. And the night before, Jim's coughing kept him awake because - let's face it - it sounds scary.
Daddy's gone to the doctor in the middle of the night because he's reaaaally sick - alone. Oh yeah, that was bright. Not.
Nice way to turn me into a control freak, guys. And ensure I overthink just about everything going forward.
*grumble*
In other news, Mexico also has dinosaurs. Who knew.
