Try, Try Again

Today I wanted to go to the gym. It has been about 2 weeks since my last visit. In addition to wanting to work out, I thought it would be good to get Aiden acquainted with the idea of going. We waited until the afternoon so the high school girls would be there, as he likes them better than the women during the day. I thought once he recognized them he would be ok. Oh how wrong I was.

First we arrived a little too early and the girls were not there yet. So, 20 minutes on the treadmill of watching him cry in a chair all by himself did not a good workout make. The women do not nurture kids when they cry, which makes me crazy. I saw that the girls were arriving and decided to go in and help him make the transition (I also left my water in the diaper bag and was thirsty). He did not take too kindly to me coming and going again. The girls really tried to help him, but he was having none of it. I went off to do the weight part of my training anyway. He needs to get used to being without me BEFORE the baby comes so it’s not such a shock. He will be fine, we just need to keep trying.
