I'm sure that in the grand scheme of things, learning object permanence is a good thing...but right now I think it SUCKS. Now when I leave the room, ANY ROOM, Garrison cries. I mean, I guess I should be flattered because he doesn't do it for anyone else, but really it makes me feel bad! Especially when I'm leaving him at daycare. Before this week, there was no crying when I dropped him off. He would just start playing and totally forget about me. I'd give him a kiss on the head and walk out the door, no big deal. Well, not the case this week!!
Now he watches my every move when I drop him off. As soon as I even glance towards the door, he throws his head back and cries. Then I'll go over to him and pick him up, get him settled again, and try to make my move again while he's distracted. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Mostly NOT. TOTALLY SUCKY. So then I leave feeling bad and sad for him...and for me. And the thing is that I'm sure 1 minute later he's totally fine but of course I don't get to see that.
So yeah. That's why I majorly dislike this whole object permanence learning phase.
On a brighter note...TGIF!!!!!!!
