Separation Anxiety

JMS is suffering the Separtation Anxiety that I've read about....when children are around age two...apparentely something clicks and they realize that they "miss" their mommy.

Example #1: I leave the room....and I hear "mommy, where are you?"

Example #2: I leave the house to take something to the neighbor...and he throws a crying fit in the arms of his "dada."

Example #3: I go to church, leave him with his grandparents...and he throws a crying fit.

Example #4: I go to work, leave him with the babysitter (who has been watching him for over 12 months now)...and he throws a crying fit.....before we even pull completely into her driveway.

Oh, and its not just me...Example #5: on Monday we were all traveling in my car as a family, and his dada gets out of the car, to get into his truck...so we can take both vehicles back to the house...and JMS cries like he is never going to see his dada again!

The best part of all of this...are the incredibly serious hugs and kisses I get from him. And the sound effects: "mommmeee...."

so sad! Joshua still does that when he catches Craig and I leaving him in the Sunday school classroom, or somewhere he's not used to being left. I was so glad when he got over crying when I left the house. Or when Craig left the house. It's not easy being 2!
