The first two times I went, Luke just cried and cried. He was clingy and fussy. It's hard to describe because he'd never done that before. There are 4 little girls who go to my friend's house, and they are all well behaved and adorable. They haven't been loud any of the times I was there, so I just couldn't figure out why Luke was so upset. I came home after the second time I went (last Friday) completely worried about how I could fulfill my commitment without traumatizing Luke.
I decided to fast this Sunday that Luke would be alright at my friend's house: that he would feel safe, secure, happy, and comfortable. And that if something was upsetting him that I could control, I'd be able to figure out what it was. Jared and I have also been praying that everything would go well today (when I was going to visit again) each night when we said family prayers with Luke.
Well, I just got back. And Luke was totally fine there!!! He only fussed a few times when I had to leave the room where he was for a minute, but there were no real tears. Most of the time he just watched the girls. He even laughed at them a couple of times! He took his bottle, and he played! I was so happy! I know our prayers were answered, and I am so thankful that Heavenly Father heard our prayers and cared about Luke enough to answer them.
