Why does Collin Miss his Parents?

Collin had baby-sitters today. They had to put him to bed. We should've paid them a million dollars since putting Collin to bed is about as easy as herding cats. Okay, it's not so terrible. But, it's not super fun. He's learned the, "I need more water, have to go potty, and please read me more stories!" tricks. He's also learned that more hugs and kisses equal just five more minutes. He'd also prefer to stay in time out just a little longer than to get into bed. It's a fun, fun cycle.

Anyway, it was a joy to have to go to a function tonight and have someone else do it. Not a joy? Coming home to a kid that was still awake an hour after he went to "bed." The reason? Because he missed us! That actually was a joy. Maybe he misses us because he loves us. What do you think?

It is good to get out once in a while, even if someone does not put your child to bed exactly the same way you do.....it all will work out in the end. It is a good experience for Collin....he can test the waters with another person.
