“They Left Me!”

Yesterday at Shane’s and Suzy’s, we celebrated Lorelai’s 2nd birthday. We had a really good time and it was a bummer when we had to leave. Right as we started singing happy birthday to Lorelai, Joshua came running toward us with the most frightened cry I have heard from him. He was terrified looking as I grabbed him and held him. It seems that he felt that Mommy and Daddy had just got up and left him behind as he was playing.

Boy, I felt so bad for the poor little guy. He was really scared and just sobbing. I just cuddled him while Liz sat close next to me and reassured him that we would never leave him. He calmed down within a few minutes and settled in just fine to daddy’s lap when it was time for cake. :)
