This post is awesome and made me laugh a little. My little one hasn't entered that phase yet, but I am not looking forward to it. I really hope he skips it! Ha!

Leaving a crying baby is the worst! I hope he gets better soon- it's hard to enjoy church (or anything, really) when you have so much dread of what's going to come at drop-off time!

It doesn't get any easier to leave a crying toddler - I hope Eli's phase ends earlier. Our 2 1/2 year old still cries sometimes during daycare drop-off and it it awful! I hate it too!!

ahhhh! I HHHHHate when Addy cries when I leave. Steve takes Addy to daycare so I don't have to deal with it. If I did, I would no longer be working! It is a phase, it comes and goes. However, wait until he cries WHILE yelling 'mommy!" (breaks my heart over and over again!)(Oh, and wait until he cries when you leave him with your mother - I think that broke my mom's heart more than mine!)

I think this is the hardest part of being a parent. I too thought parents were crazy for not letting them cry it out! My daughter just turned two and she stills cries sometimes when I drop her off. It still feels as painful as the first time it happened. Thankfully, they are just fewer and farther between!
Hope he outgrows it soon! :-(

We went through a very similar phase around the same age. BUT it didn't last long. It was awful and I hated it. My husband is stronger (meaner) than me thought and never let me take her in the service. Then after she turned one, it popped up again, but seriously only lasted about a week or so. It sucks. But it will get better Mama :)

Amelia went through this late and has been through it a couple of times. She just recently stopped crying when I take her to nursery - it lasted about a month. She had never cried before and started out of the blue. I was always texting as soon as I would leave to see if she had stopped...and she always had. It never gets easier to leave them when they're crying though.

My baby boy just turned 1. (Yes. I'm still in denial about that.) He started doing this sometimes in the last month or so, too. He doesn't want to be left in the church nursery and some days when I leave for work, he cries. It is pitiful! I feel like the worst mom ever. I know he's okay very soon after I leave, but you are right. So hard. Also? I've eaten some words, too! And by some I mean A LOT. ;)

I just wanted to leave a comment letting you know I LOVE reading your blog :) you seem to say a lot of things that are on my mind! My little girl is 5 months younger than Eli, so it's fun to read what other babies are like and compare.

Oh, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE your canvases that you posted earlier this week. SO CUTE!

Phases like this SUCK! They are so hard and my mommy guilt kicks in big time! That said, I try to tell myself that I can either tough it out for a week or so and form good habits, or I can rescue AM and just prolong the phase (or build bad habits where she thinks that the more she cries the sooner I will get her). For a few of these things, as hard as it has been, I have stuck to my guns and within a few days we are through it...there have been a few times that I have come to the rescue though, unable to leave my crying child. It for sure doesnt get any easier and I love this post and following your journey of motherhood!
