sarah, you so accurately describe this stage in our toddler’s lives. it can be so frustrating at times, not knowing what they want. you are incredible for braving a plane ride, a new country, a different time zone, and a toddler! i’m so glad you’re home!

Okay – so I hope it goes without saying that I completely get this one. *sigh* They are little puzzles and sometimes the windows into their minds are clearer than others. I give you MAJOR props for doing the plane trip — I shudder even THINKING about that with the Hurricane.

welcome home.

at times like these (which seems like so long ago) i recall just joining my child in a good cry.

i'm 34 and still throwing my binky!
because i cannot find the words to express all that is inside.
"Oh Lord, you search me and know me." Psalm 139:1

May God search you and know you today Sarah, be near. Search and know Naomi, comfort, and love her today. May He give you rest, and also refresh you.

I hate parenting under a microscope. Glad you’re home and can begin to transition into regular life. Sounds like a great trip.

Welcome home! I so enjoyed reading all your posts when you were gone. Thank you for sharing your trip with us.

Boy, do I understand about tantrums…everyday in our home. I feel your heart & understand…

Welcome home, mate!

That age on a plane is TOUGH, no doubt. Glad you made it through.

Welcome Home! It was great following your adventure in London. I really enjoyed the pictures too.

So, now when I post our family vacation stories, you’ll be able to relate to the jetlag stories—-times 6.

Glad you are home again.

Sounds all too familiar…I beleive that God gives us these children to stretch us, to teach us. I have learned so much by parenting my own strong child. And I have so much more to learn.

Welcome home! I too feel your pain – ouch! Sometimes you want to be able to just read their thoughts and know what would make them happy, what would satisfy these little people. I have been there and I am entering that world again with the baby.

I hope you can rest, relax, and enjoy some down time now that you are home!

I feel your pain, Sarah! I’m glad you’re home though, safe and sound, and maybe ready to hunker down for awhile? Prayers as you all try and readjust to the time change again.
