I knew there was the possibility of some fallout if I took Delaney on a trip, even if it was for just a couple of days.  I thought that maybe she wouldn’t sleep well or not be able to nap.  Neither of these concerns materialized—she slept fine and took all of her naps.   She even ate relatively well.  She didn’t have the smiles or the giggling demeanor she usually has, but she seemed content, just relatively reserved.  Once we returned home, her personality reemerged and she was all smiles as her daddy took her and carried her out to the car to go home.  The last few days, however, she hasn’t slept well, waking about every two hours.   And, she wants to be held all the time, but only by me.  It has made for some frustrating afternoons for everyone.  Maybe the timing is a coincidence.  Or, maybe it’s fatigue, or maybe she is anxious over our flooring project.  Whatever it is, I hope it resolves itself soon or our family functionality is going to completely break down.  One little variable, but one big impact!
