Clara's new phase and too much hovering

Clara is going through this new phase where she gets VERY upset and has a hard time recovering from it. I think the first time she did it was when Carl and Megan were over last week and she started to get really upset, crying very hard, and not being able to calm down enough to even eat. I was with her for quite a while before she calmed down enough to even fall asleep in my arms.

Tonight for example, we went for a walk and she started to cry while we were walking for no reason at all! Yesterday when Carrie was here, she pretty much cried all day. She is really having a hard time when I am not around and Carrie is taking care of her. It is really heart wrenching. Carrie will come down the stairs and Clara is all white, with red eyes, and big fat tears running down her face.

It breaks my heart :(

My poor sweetheart. I really wish that I could fix it but I think it is going to just take some time and some tough love. It feels good when I hold her and she calms down but I hate how upset she gets right before that happens. And it happens on a DIME. All of a sudden, she just starts crying. Sometimes it can be a small complaint OR it just gets worse until there is no turning back.

On another note, Matt is pretty much getting on my nerves. He hovers a lot and it makes me feel like he is second guessing all the decisions that I am making for her and about her. It is SO frustrating. This job is frustrating enough without someone else hovering over every decision that I make. It is just ANOTHER stress I just do not need right now in my life and it is so frustrating. I am trying to express to him how bad it makes me feel when he does that but I am not getting through because he is so darn stubborn. UGH!
