Mommy Phase


So if any of you out there have any suggestions on how to get through the "mommy phase" I'd greatly appreciate it! While I know Bo loves his daddy very much, there are certain things he wants mommy for...going to bed is probably #1 on the list. I had told Jarrod earlier yesterday that when he got home I was going to run a few errands...it's just MUCH easier without Bo sometimes. Well when Jarrod got home I had just finished feeding Bo and I asked him to give Bo a bath...then I went on to explain how I had his bottle ready in the fridge, I had pulled out his pj's, etc... I swear to you with the look of sheer panic all over his face he looked at me and said..."I'm not putting him to bed am I?" You would have thought I had just asked him to commit an illegal activity! He did everything but beg on his hands and knees for me not to leave. He kept saying it would be a disaster, that Bo would be screaming his head off (which he does do with Jarrod), but I really did think that everything would be okay.

Well apparently Jarrod was right and it was a bit "challenging". However when I walked in everything was quiet and Bo was asleep. Jarrod swears it was after an hour of him screaming. So...if anyone has any advice I'd love to hear it! Mommy needs a break too sometimes!!!!
