I have to amend the previous post. I have always stood strongly behind the belief that a strong woman reserves the right to change her mind. Harper has changed her mind. She thinks going into the babysitting room at the gym is compete bullsh**. She cries, and by cries I mean SCREAMS until she can't breath, and makes Miss Gina carry her around like a princess, while saying "I want my Mommy". She was golden for two work-outs and is now back to her old ways. I am hanging on by a thread to hope that we can work though this. I really NEED the one hour break and time to do something good for ME. Please sweet Harper- let's work this out. I refuse to quit, we'll be back tomorrow.
Any suggestions?? I've let her have her binky, no help. I had friends meet us there so she had familiar faces in there with her..... no luck with that either. Tomorrow I am going to go earlier- hoping that maybe she's been so emotional because we've been going pretty close to lunch time? I've also tried just sneaking out, and I've tried to stay and play with her a little and then give a big hug and high five ...blah blah blah. She's not buying it yet.
She's two 1/2, is that old enough for a reward chart or something? ugh. I'm going to bribe her tomorrow with a trip to the library afterwards if she can play for just 30 minutes......
feeling defeated.
oh yeah....and can it stop snowing in March???????????
a place to share the ups and downs of our family of four. Hope you'll visit, we're pretty great.
