Today I have seen Nolan grieve in huge way. He just got up in a very needy place today. It is so hard to watch him cry but it is the only way he can get out all the emotions built up from not understanding what has happened over the past 2 months. At times he just lays limp in my arms crying; talk about heart wrenching! I am learning to differentiate between crying from not getting what he wants to a very specific cry indicating emotional pain.
He has gone from long crying spells all morning to happy, happy times this afternoon.
I've had to concentrate on holding time and time in the Hip Hammock and am trying to integrate more attachment activities into an already busy life. And while this is exhausting for me, it's so worth it when I see glimpses of happiness in his face again.
Bathtime..... more later.
