A Very Sad Event . . . . Nightly!













Shawn arrives home at 8:00 for his "dinner break" from work. Nickolas lights up from a bursting happiness. Nickolas runs to Shawn and insists on being picked up. Shawn eats his dinner standing up while holding Nickolas in one arm. Shawn finishes eating and spends the last few minutes before returning to work entertaining & tickling Nickolas. Shawn waves goodbye to Nickolas as he heads back to work. Nickolas runs as fast as he can towards the back door. Nickolas bursts into tears because Shawn is gone. Nickolas stands at the door crying for approximately 5 - 10 minutes.

This is our nightly routine. Nick loves his dad so much. Even his mom can't seem to soothe the pain of "dad going back to work". After the crying and sad face for 10 minutes, he is back to his happy little self!

Awww...Don't you just hate that! At least only one of your boys bauls everytime "dad" leaves. I've got 2 that just fall apart when their dad goes any where without them. He's camping tonight because the bow hunt starts tomorrow and wow did we ever have a melt down! Those are cute pictures though, even if he's sad.
