Stressful times

I am sitting here listening to my 9 month old scream his head off. He has been screaming for about 2 hours now! I am not sure what is wrong and am tired of trying to figure it out! So I have just set him on the floor with his toys and he has finally worn himself out, I guess! He is still crying and turning his head from side to side, but isn't opening his eyes! I know he wants a nap, but if he gets another one, he will be up all night again! I wish I knew what was the right move? Be up all night and let him get another nap, or make him stay awake and go to our church meeting with a screaming child? I really don't know what his problem is! I know that C will be home from work really soon, which would mean that he wouldn't get a long nap, so maybe I should just let him go on to sleep! I just really don't want C to have to be up with him all night again, or me. I'm sure it is teething that is bothering him, but there is nothing more I can do to make him happy! For some reason, we have these screamfests periodically. I know that he just has to scream it out, and life will get better. And I am really thankful that he doesn't have colic or reflux or anything like that, because I know how hard it is when they do. My nephew had reflux and bad! He screamed the first 7 months of his life non-stop! My sister did as much as she could, but some times it was too much for her! I spent a lot of time out there, just so I could relieve her some nights. So I do know that this is just one of those days and he needs to get it out! I think he is going horse though! Poor kid!! He keeps stomping his foot on the ground! I really wish C would get home, so he can witness one of his screamfests! I think, he thinks, I exaggerate them! LOL! Well he just got home, so we shall see what he has to say!
