Clingy stage...

Last night I went to a cookie swap with some ladies at from church. I've had several things going on lately where I'm not home at night, and Chloe does not like it. Keith said she's fine until bed time, and that's always when she wants me. I remember the boys going through a stage like this, but girls are so different! She was still awake when I got home last night, (because she took a nap yesterday, she wasn't as tired at night), so I went in and told her good night. One of the first things she said to me was, "You left me." It was so pitiful! I was like I just left her on the side of the road somewhere! Anyway that really killed me! I figure I have to do one of two things to help this situation: either never go out(not going to happen), or go out at least once a week so she can get used to me being gone for a few hours!!

Oh! That is soooo pitiful!! However, I think you need a few more nights out for more than just this reason. Time to sign up for a class or something?! :)

maybe keith could start putting her to bed most nights even when you are there. you could still poke you head in and let her know you are there to ease her fears.

that sounds really sad.
