Lifetime Take Two

So I decided that I would take the girls back up to the gym again today and try the whole childcare situation for a second time. This time I went at 2:45pm and it was much better, when we arrived there were only 6 other children in whole 1200 sq. foot section. I checked the girls in and then tried to find something that Paige would get distracted by. Well that didn't work she total saw me walking out and just went crazy. One of the workers picked her up and tried to distract her with some bubbles but she wasn't having it. I asked one of the girls how long they would let her cry for before they paged me and she said it all just depends on her and how worked up she got. Well I hit the Eliptical Machine at 3:00pm and was paged at 3:15pm to return to childcare area. My poor Paige I have never seen her this upset before I just felt horrible. I decided that I would try to go in and calm her down and see if I could then leave her again. Well she calmed down as soon as I had her in my arms but anytime I tried to put her down she would just freak out again. I then made the decision that I would not leave her again for the day but stay and play in the area with both she and Claire. I thought maybe this would be a good way for her to adjust to the new surrondings. I probably stayed in there for 15 minutes or so and she did start to get a little more comfortable and take a few steps away from me but not very far at all. I don't know what I am going to do, I think she did do me a favor though by making them page me, my legs are already killing me and I wasn't even on that machine but for 15 minutes. I almost wonder if God is trying to tell me that it is going to take a Lifetime for Paige to adjust, who knows! Well Cory is up there right now trying out the Rock Climbing Wall I just pray that he doesn't get hurtand comes home in one piece.

  1. That's a bummer about Paige, she'll probably get used to it after a few more times, ya know? At least you exercised for 15minutes!!! Better than nothing I guess:)
