We’ve discovered the cure for separation anxiety…

…just post it on your child’s “baby blog”.  After posting about separation anxiety, we had to leave Connor with Grandma today for about 4.5 hours.  I was a bit nervous as this was the first time he has been with Grandma (alone) since November.

The report from Grandma was that Connor did great!  No long crying spells and no vomitting.  He played like normal and only showed a few signs of looking for Mommy and Daddy.  When Grandma noticed he was getting a little anxious, she just distracted him and had him play with something.  From all accounts, Connor was in great spirits this morning and afternoon.  Grandma played peek-a-boo with him and also chased him from room to room.  He loves making laps around her hallway, kitchen, and dining room.  (The dining room that Uncle Danny and Daddy were NEVER allowed to play in as kids — I guess Connor must be special.)

So, as much as Mommy and Daddy would like to declare the “all clear” on the separation anxiety, I think we will hold off for now…

Connor — we are glad you had an enjoyable and stressfree day with Grandma today.

Love,

Daddy and Mommy
