I Think Claire Needs Some Mommy Time

It's been awhile since I've been all alone with Claire. Before Grayson was born, she'd snuggle up next to me on the couch and watch Playhouse Disney and Sesame Street in the morning. She'd sit in my lap while I used the computer. We'd play..A lot.

Well, today, during the 20 minutes that I wasn't holding Grayson, she climbed into my lap on the couch, snuggled up as close as she could get, and just held on. She wants to snuggle with me so much. I think she just needs some mommy one on one time. I miss spending time alone with her. Now, I have her and Grayson, and Grayson is always wanting to eat. I think the only time I actually get a break from feeding is in the morning when I'm getting Ethan up and ready for school, and getting Claire breakfast. He happy lays under his little gym or sits in the Bumbo or lies in the bobby on the couch cooing to himself. I have a good hour before he's ready to eat, which is just enough time to get Ethan fed, dressed and out the door to the bus, Claire fed, teeth and hair brushed, and diaper changed. Then, Grayson wants food, and I have to nurse him. This is usually when Claire starts whining because she wants to snuggle. It's even come to the point where she tries to climb in between Grayson and I while he's nursing. This ticks him off because he usually ends up being pulled away from the food, and it ticks Claire off because I have to tell her no and set her back down on the floor. I'm really hoping that at Grayson's appointment, I can find out once and for all if he has acid reflux, get him some meds and get him to feeling better. He wants to eat and be attatched to me so much I think because his little throat hurts.

I can't wait for Saturday. Maybe I can get David to watch Grayson for a half hour so I can spend some girl time with my Claire Bear.
