Craziness of our change in plans

Having the date changed on Ethan's surgery, caused some logistical craziness for us. Grandma can only come for one night so we weren't sure what to do. We tossed around a number of ideas (bringing him with us, bringing Grandma with us to the hotel for one night, sending him to grandma's for two nights) most of them not ideal. I realized that most of the other scenarios had me worrying too much about Ian and I didn't want to be worried about both boys at the same time. I prayed about it knowing God would work it out and we were able to find another sitter to come the second night. At least now he will be able to remain at home, in his own crib with his own toys. He's old enough to notice our absence but not old enough to understand why we are gone, where we have gone and when we will be back so I am concerned about his separation anxiety but being at home will help him overcome that. I think I may have some separation anxiety from him myself, I've not been away from him overnight before:) And he's saying new words everyday--I know I'm going to miss something new:)!
