For the very first time, Hunter cried when I left him today. I took him into the nursery at church, a church nursery he has been to several times, and set him down next to the toys and a boy about 6 months older. Immediately, he started to cry. I took his coat and hat off of him and gave him a hug and his cries got louder.
I proceeded into church, heartbroken and a little confused. Was Hunter crying because I was leaving him? Or was it because he hasn't pooped in 48 hours?
I was in the service about 15 minutes before the nursery workers came to get me. Hunter was inconsolable. There were about 6 other babies in the room and they couldn't get Hunter to stop crying. As soon as I walked in, he calmed down. I took him and immediately he stopped crying.
So was it separation anxiety? Or was it the fact his belly didn't feel good? Maybe it was hard to be away from me and Josh when he didn't feel well.
I hope this isn't a new pattern!

It's hard to say but you're little guy is growing up and separation anxiety is a real thing of becoming more and more aware of your world and it is something your bright little boy will eventually work through too. Very hard on mom and dad though. But knowing Hunter, it's hard not to think that an uncomfortable tummy made things worse for him. When Baylee was at her sickest, she wanted to be held which isn't normal for her with me, and then she would bury her head in my arm pit and make little whimper-moan sounds. It was heartbreaking. Hunter's tears have got to be a bizillion times worse!
