Daddy's Boy

People ask me all the time if Bobby is a "mommy's" boy or a "daddy's" boy. I really don't know how to answer that. Bobby is a huge "mommy's boy" pretty much all day every day, but when he notices that Daddy is gone, he goes nuts.

It's like he can sense that mommy has no battle buddy, so he knows that he can act out and that I will eventually get worn down and tired. Robert had CQ last night and Bobby was awful and I was about to pull my hair out. I was cooking dinner and I came in the living room and he was in the middle of the floor surrounded by hundreds of q-tips. I was about to cry when I saw that. Here I was, I thought that he was being good, but heck no. He was getting into stuff that he shouldn't. He opened the bathroom door, went to the drawers, opened the drawer, got the pack out and took into the living room. Wow.. REALLY??

When Robert walked through the door this morning, Bobby was on him like glue. He ran out and greeted him and for the rest of the day, he would just lay on Robert's shoulder and you could tell he missed him. When Robert went in the field last month, Bobby was beside himself and would not leave Robert alone when he came back. I think it's so cute that he is so attached to me, but yet when daddy is gone, he is all about daddy. He is all about both of us. So the answer is that he is crazy for both of us.

I love that he is so attached to both of us. Robert sometimes hates that Bobby prefers me over him, but he loves coming home after work or the field because Bobby loves him and makes him feel loved. Bobby always knows how to make it known that he was missed. The best thing is the scream that he lets out when Robert walks into the house. It just melts both of our hearts when we hear it. I mean he is only 20 months, but he sure knows how to make his daddy feel amazing.
