Today Day 8: Still screaming everytime I put him down! Even sitting at circle/learning time...as soon as I place him on the floor in front of me off my lap...screams! Tried a playpen & exersaucer...screams . Screams for 1 whole hour on average in playpen at naptime (I've just had to resort to letting him cry it out for my sanity)... then naps for 2 hours. I now have a really sore shoulder; can hardly lift my arm (I think more from stress than injury). So, today, I decided to just let him scream. 2 hours, 12 minutes of constant screaming (honestly took every ounce of patience/resolve I possess)....and then 'voila' done...now has been playing for 10 minutes....the first time in 8 days not being attached to my hip....arrgggg. I was so concerned with soothing him, not traumatizing the child...meanwhile making myself and the other children bananas when I should have just left him. Yet another lesson my DCKs have taught me
