Going Away and Coming Home

I go to work in the morning and come home in the evening.

BB had some separation anxiety over the last couple of weeks,

after 11 days over the holidays when I was with him 24/7.

But...

Last Friday, he was eating breakfast in his high chair

as I was preparing to leave.

He looked at me, waved, and said "Bye".

It melted my heart!

Today, we were all in the kitchen and I was getting ready to leave.

BB initiated saying "Bye" and waved from across the room.

Then he followed me to the door and waved some more.

AAHHH!

Better yet, when I came home tonight,

I put my stuff down on the island in the kitchen.

Normally, both Gabriel and BB come running to hug me.

Tonight Gabriel was a bit preoccupied.

I started talking to Miss M and May.

BB came right up next to me, but didn't hug me.

He simply looked up, grinned, and said "Hi" as I was talking!

I stooped down immediately and said something like,

"Well, hello there!"

BB's grin grew exponentially!

It was P.R.I.C.E.L.E.S.S!!!
