he walks through the door at the end of the day. (This is not to say he doesn't do any of those things; he just doesn't do them when he is not here.)So Thursday was an especially difficult day with Eli. He did a little better at MMO, but once we were home, and for the rest of the day, he was difficult to say the least. He whined when I picked him up, he whined when I put him down, he whined when I fed him, he whined when I played with him, he whined when I didn't play with him.... When Lehr got home at 6:15, that all changed on a dime and Eli became a very normal, non-whining child. Not just for a few minutes, but for the remainder of his evening. There's gratitude for you!
In addition, last night we went to our bi-weekly Community Group which usually lasts until about 10PM. No problem for Eli; he just plays with the toys and people all night and goes to bed late. So this morning I wake up at 8:00 and go to the gym, which is usually the start of my responsibility-free-Saturday. I arrive home just after 10:00 and Eli is STILL SLEEPING. So I didn't 'miss out' on any of the whining. Lucky me! Seriously....what is Lehr paying this kid?
Tonight Lehr and I went out to dinner while Eli's Fairy Godmother babysat. Eli had Carolyn wrapped around his little finger, even when he told her 'no-no' as she tried to reclaim her cell phone.

I understand this. My little guy does that to me all of the time. Fusses with me with anything I try to do and the second daddy shows up he's suddenly an angel.
Aww. It's just a stage -- or at least that's what I keep telling myself!
Maybe I should say it's just a boy thing. I know my girl certainly never acted like this!
