- Abigail is attached to me; seemingly more than the other children were. If I put her down and walk out of the room I immediately hear a "shrieking of eels" coming from her mouth. She wants to be held and carried around the house or at least be crawling by me.
- When you want her to fall asleep in the car while driving somewhere you can be assured that she won't. This is most cumbersome on Sunday mornings. We leave for church at exactly the same time as she would normally be going down for her morning nap. Each time we leave I am hoping that she'll fall asleep on the drive over to church (20 minutes drive), but she never does. We make it to church, and by that time she is very tired but wide awake. I proceed to try many ways of getting her to sleep to no avail.
Because of those two things I usually end up missing almost all of Sunday morning service. I am hesitant to put her in the nursery for fear of her crying incessantly, and the crying would be magnified by how tired she is. I try to keep her in the pew with me, but she likes to talk loudly, or she will start to fuss so out we go.
This morning then when Abby started getting fussy by 9:30 I told myself to just forget going. There wouldn't be enough time for her to nap before we left, and I already knew what would happen at church. So now I am at home with all my girlies, and Abby is sleeping peacefully. ☺
