Well, the day went better then what I posted this morning. Though there were still some moments of complete exasperation, frustration etc.
I'm struggling big time in relating to Jamari. *sigh* Tonight in complete frustration I carried him to his bed screaming. It was a better place for him and for me. He stopped crying after 30 seconds. And was sound asleep shortly there after.
I am unable to comfort him. The more I try, the more frustrated the both of us get. He's such a good natured baby 98% of the day. That the moments when he wigs out always leave me completely unprepared as to how to fix it.....
Father God, I need wisdom in dealing with him, and I need your love for him. Some things are going so hard. In your sons name, Amen

I pray you figure it out. It just takes time for both of you to get adjusted.
My Claire was like that. She would cry and cry and I couldn't make her stop. One day in desperation I put her to bed and she stopped almost immediately and went to sleep. All she had wanted was to go to bed. From then on whenever she cried and I knew she wasn't hungry or her diady wasn't needing changed I just put her to bed. ZZZZZ....she'd be out in a flash.
By the way, I doubt it would be possible for you to flunk Mommy 101! You have a PhD! You are the ulitmate Mommy!
