One of the Toughest Parts

There are some tough parts about our family's current situation. We are all making it through each day, and are counting down until we're back together again. I've found, however, that Sunday is one of the hardest, longest, toughest days we have every week. It is a bit tricky to help Elise stay calm through sacrament meeting without some help. It is hard to see so many happy families enjoying church together, while we are missing Logan. Nursery is also a tough, stressful, crazy situation. How do you handle bullies? There are going to be 18 kids in our incredibly small room within the next month or so. Some of our kids are a higher energy, attention need level, and can become agressive towards the younger kids. How do you handle the aggressive kids? Does it change if your kid is one of the ones being bullied? Or is picking up some terrible behaviors from watching everything that is happening? This has been a difficult situation, and as one of the people asked to help out in the nursery class, I'm struggling to know how to best handle the situation, while balancing the "mommy bear"instinct that kicks in when my daughter is one of the kids on the receiving end of some aggression. So, we'll just keep trying, week by week. We're down to 3 and 1/2 weeks until Logan's next visit!!!
