Hanging Out



Scott was called away on an emergency (read bs) trip to New York again on Wednesday but before he left Chance and Daddy got a lot of bonding time in. It was reallycute. This time when Scott was home you could see that Chance really enjoyed his Daddy time. They hung out on the couch together and with their toys as per the previous post. Chance would practice the guitar every morning with Scott and they would exercise together at least once per day. Exercise is Scott lifting Chance up and down while Chance is hanging upside down and then doing curls with him while Chance rolls down Scott's arms and then gets rolled back up for a belly kissy. Chance loves the exercises. He laughs out loud every time. When Scott left this time Chance got really nervous about me getting out of sight. He seemed to really understand for the first time that Daddy was gone. It was sad. If I would walk out of sight he would cry it was a very nervous panic cry that he has never had before. He got much better each day. We need to come up with a better ritual for when Scott leaves to hopefully help Chance understand what is happening better. Also we are really working on the company to give him a set schedule so they can't just change it all the time. He was called out on 3 emergency trips in the last 3 1/2 weeks. Two of which were not really emergencies (see why I say bs). This makes it hard on me and as Chance begins to understand more it makes it hard on him too. These two pictures were take a couple days ago. In the first one Chance doesn't look comfortable but he sat there for a while and then he got his blanket and hung out a little longer.
