Best buds :)


These two are best of buds. Emmet is seriously so attached to his dad...when Ryan leaves for school Emmet has a meltdown. It's so funny too because Emmet can sense when Ryan is getting ready to leave and he'll follow him around the house sticking to him like glue, watching his every move so he can make sure that he's not leaving with out him. As soon as Ryan leaves the world comes to an end. I know Ryan feels horrible this time each day...one day it was so bad he really did miss a couple of classes and took Emmet swimming and around town to run errands...what a sweet dad! But most days Emmet screams and hits the door and throws himself around the house and refuses to come to me. When he finally comes around he seriously mopes and has to come snuggle on my lap to calm down! Meanwhile I'm racking my brain on how to get his mind off of his dad. So we'll color in his dinosaur coloring book or make some yummy cookies! These things always seem to make him feel better :)
Now this picture was taken today when dad got home and Emmet was elated! He ran up to Ryan wrapped his arms around his neck and couldn't stop smiling and laughing! So cute! These are the funniest days!!!

That is the best pic ever...you need to frame it for sure. I love that Ryan has little mini-me's! What a cute family you guys have.

Love that picture! Makes Ryan feel good, but hard to leave and he doesn't want you to. It's hard on Mom, too, but you do a great job helping him cope with Dad leaving!! Way to catch the moments!
