Anxious

I am not excited at all that in 7 days, we will be leaving our Anna-bear for 4 long nights. Without us. What the heck am I thinking and why is Paul agreeing to this?

We are leaving her with Paul's parents in Louisiana while we go to a conference in Colorado.

They need to know that she seriously doesn't sleep well on travel. She has become clingy lately, she may be teething...she's fighting an ear infection that should hopefully be gone by then. She likes to sing ABC's to sleep, plus Snow White's song, plus 1-2-3 bumblebees, and whatever else she asks for even after her books have been read to her. She may wake in the night several times on travel, looking for her paci. She may be looking for her mommy and her daddy too. What if she wakes unconsolable and confused?

She may try to fight naps on top of that. She won't want her teeth brushed. What if she keeps asking for us? FOUR NIGHTS is a LONG TIME to be away from both mom and dad. What am I thinking? This is NOT OK. NOT OK, NOT OK. BAD MOMMY AND DADDY.

She's only 19 months old. Well, 20 months old by then.
Bad, bad, bad. What have I done?
