Now I know...

I now know what true seperation anxiety is... because Kennedy definitely has it. Everytime I leave the room she gets upset, even if she is with Pete. This is making it very difficult to get things done around here! Yesterday, Pete was watching the draft in the living room, otherwise known as the"man cave" and watching Kennedy. I was making lunch, which I brought into the room and then after we ate Kennedy was busy playing with some toys so I thought it was a good time to sneak out (note I have to sneak out of the room to keep her from getting upset), it did not work. As soon as I got close to the door she saw me and starting crying, yelling mama as I walked away. It breaks my heart to hear her cry for me like that, except for the fact that she does it every time!! I have figured out that I just have to walk away sometimes, I think eventually she will figure out that I will come back.

I wonder if this is a result of my being here with her all day and that she doesn't like it when I leave, because she is used to my being there all the time. I am hoping that if Kennedy and Pete have more one on one time, like we have during the day, it will eventually get better.
