The men are gone, let's all freak out.

That's a line my mom and I would say when I was in NH with LB. It seemed like every time my dad or brother left the room, LB would whine and cry and get upset. I thought it might be a phase,like he really just wanted to be one of the guys, but I'm finding myself in the same position now that Hubby is home.

It seems like the kid has Daddy-MIA radar or something. He still pulls the dramatic stuff when he sees Hubby leave, but now it's also happening in his sleep. I swear, since Hubby has been home, the instant he leaves the house, LB wakes up from his nap and cries.

Just this afternoon, Hubby was playing Lego Indiana Jones and I had fallen peacefully asleep in the recliner as LB napped in his crib. Ahhh, it was nice. Then Hubby decided to go workout. He gave me a nice little peck and I went right back to sleep... for about, oh, 90 seconds. Less than two minutes after Hubby had left, LB was awake and crying.

*sigh* Seriously??

I was enjoying my nap so much. The theme of Barnett College (I think it's called Marian's theme) was lulling me to sleep and I had a full belly of mac & cheese, hot dog, and broccoli. LB had only been asleep for about an hour, so I thought I could squeeze in maybe 30 minutes of relaxing, uninterrupted napping. But no such luck.

The man was gone. Let's all freak out.
