I'm gald that I had read Dobsons book as well or my heart might have hurt more :) Course Daddy's heart was hurting for the early months when only mom could soothe and daddy really wanted to be able to soothe.

I am due with our second child right around the time Charles will be going through this stage. It will be perfect timing for me as I will be tending to the newest family member. I'm sure he will love getting to spend more time with Daddy and I will just patiently wait for him to come back to me, and hopefully that will be just about the time I ween the baby. :-)<BR/>Love the picture.

He just smiles and says bye-bye. It does sting a little but it is a kind of new freedom too. Of course Rodney is loving this new attention and I am so proud for this new relationship developing between them.
