A bit guilty

Missed a poo last night. Julia was crying and I ignored her for a bit and when I came to check she was sitting forlornly in her crib, no longer crying but still upset and she was sitting in a big poo. I felt bad about that.

She's doing so many new things (standing, crusing, etc) and struggling with new developments (separation anxiety) that I have a hard time interpretting her for potty cues or helping her overcome frustrations.

It gets ME frustrated.

And then I just have to set her down, set the timer for 5-10 minutes and walk away even if it means ignoring her fussing. I refuse to handle her when my temper is starting to go... I never want to touch my kid in anger.
