I'm a single mom...

For four days. Max is on a work trip. And it has been a weird two days so far.

We went to Monterey to visit Auntie Abby for the night. Quick trip. Got there Monday afternoon and left Tuesday morning. Auntie Abby doesn't have babies over very often so Sawyer revealed to her the art of baby-proofing. It was fun and a bit of a challenge as a single mom but he was a total trooper on the road. He slept for about 4 hours of the 5 hour total road trip. And if you knew his inability to be a happy baby in the car back in February you would be as amazed as I am.

All in all it was fun! Sawyer had his first run in with a large dog. Patsy made sure to bathe him with her tongue. It was cute.

The weird part was the separation anxiety that Sawyer displayed for the first time ever. He would freak if I put him down. He wouldn't sleep in the porta-crib. He woke up quite a few times. And it was just strange.

Then we got home and there was more of the same. The only happy times were either while I was holding him, showering him, taking him for a walk, or feeding him. Oh, and he bit me. WTH? The kid has got to learn that you don't bite the hand (or boob!) that feeds you. LOL!

So the point to all of this is that I am pretty certain that he misses daddy. I think he gets that something is different and this is making him insecure. And if daddy being gone for 4 days makes him a little insecure what is mommy being gone for 9 days going to do to him.

And after all is said and done at the end of the day I just can't help but think that he is just so amazing!
