Every time Chance gets sick and we have to take a sick day (and by that I mean a laying around in front of the TV day) the days following the sick day are not any fun. It is like all of his good little boy pieces are just thrown out the window with all that couch cuddling and Television watching. So the last couple days he has been really really really whiny. We decided to take him to the park yesterday to get out of the house and get our blood pumping again. While there we saw these dandelions they had bees on their flowers and Chance liked watching them as they were collecting the nectar from the yellow flowers. We stayed back just watching. The park did seem to help but the standing in the corner when he whines is working a lot better. It is his first real punishment. We have been understanding but serious since he was born, I guess in a way expecting a lot of him but nothing that he has not been able to handle and due to that he is a good little boy who listens when we tell/ask him to do things (for the most part) but now he is trying to use his cuteness to get away with things and so the punishment has to be upped a little and now he gets the corner. It is working for now. He learns that if he whines he doesn't get anything and when we count to 3 he goes to the corner. I know it is for the best but it is still sad when he walks over to his corner crying.
Scott flew out today to ATL and will be back on Thursday. Chance cried when he saw Scott's suitcase packed in the living room he knows when it comes out to the front of the house Daddy is going away. He cried when we left the airport too. To be honest it hurts and feels good to see him cry when Scott leaves, I don't want him to be hurt or upset but I know it can be hard for Scott to leave and he was worried for a while that he wasn't around enough for Chance to know him but you can not deny that the little guy not only knows him but loves him very much with a reaction like that.
