Connor’s weekend (without the separation anxiety)

We had our first wedding to shoot this past weekend and Daddy was worried about leaving Connor with the grandparents on Friday and Saturday due to his separation anxiety.

Well, Grandpa and Mimi reported that Connor did great Friday evening for about 2 hours.  They played with Connor and he was in a great mood when Mommy and Daddy got home.  Grandpa kept picking Connor up with his hands under Connor’s armpits as if Connor was jumping each time.  Each time Grandpa did this, Connor let our a giggle and a BIG SMILE!  (He didn’t want Grandpa to stop.)

On Saturday, he was with Grandma for around 9 hours and from all accounts, he did great!!!  Good job, Connor (and Grandma)!  Grandma put Connor to sleep on the couch downstairs.  When Mommy and Daddy arrived around 10pm, he was sound asleep.   Connor started to stir when he heard Daddy talking to Grandma.  Daddy started to worry that Connor would begin to cry because usually when he wakes up he is a little disoriented and has been known to cry.  Grandma was right there for him and when he woke up and saw her, Daddy noticed it comforted Connor.  He didn’t bother looking for Mommy or Daddy — seeing Grandma soothed him enough that he laid right back down for a few seconds.
