So...Charlie is basically with me 24/7, because he comes with me to work and he rarely is even awake before Brian heads off to work everyday. So first thing in the morning to the last thing at night. Unfortunately that means that he gets crazy when I leave. Yesterday morning I wanted to leave him with Brian while I went to youth group to teach and then they would join me for our second church service. I wasn't even teaching yet and I saw the two of them walk in the door. Charlie was just screaming and sobbing the whole time I was gone. It is so distressing and heartbreaking for Brian because he would love to spend some alone time with Charlie. We have come up with a little plan that will hopefully work. When Brian is at home I am going to make a concious effort to give him to Brian and let Brian do more things with him...all the way to changing diapers and feeding. I just think that those are the times when a baby learns to trust you and maybe they can increase their bond. It will be hard because most of the time I am on autopilot, but it will be worth it to know I can leave the house and not worry about the two of them.
