However, when we got there, my little man did NOT want to stay and play. I left him crying with the other kids (and the lady that is paid to watch them) and went on in to the study. He usually will calm down after a few minutes. Today was different though. He was in the next room and I could hear him screaming and calling for me (usually the kids are on the other side of the church, but today they weren't for some reason). My heart was breaking just listening to him. So I snuck out and tried to comfort him for a few minutes and then went back in. I had just reached my seat and sat back down and heard him start screaming again. I couldn't pay attention to the discussion at all because I was too distracted by him. After a few more minutes of his screaming, I finally just gathered my things and left.
I was very disappointed that I didn't get to stay. Hopefully next week he'll be back to normal and will stay. I think he is just really tired today. He didn't even want to play with the basketballs in the activity center at the church. He just wanted me to hold him. I guess he's just having one of those days that he just wants his mommy. I better just enjoy them while I can because this too shall pass.
Oh the joys of parenting.

He is acting strangely today. Usually, he wakes up and cries for Daddy. This morning, he woke up and didn't cry, but instead just stood up and called for you.
That is the first time he ever did that. Between that and your experience this morning, I wonder if our son was stolen and replaced with a pod-person!
I hope he isn't getting sick. My boy turns into a major momma's boy when he's not feeling well.
