I like it when he cries

Jim is going to kill me, but I have to share anyway. Jim thinks Finn likes me better than him, which is absurd, but he thinks so because when I come in a room, Finn always looks at me and responds to me, regardless of what he is doing or who is by him. First of all, Finn is with me far more than he is with Jim, so of course he is going to respond differently to me, than to Jim. Second, I believe that dads have a very different relationship and role with children than moms do. You can see it even in the difference in how we play with him and comfort him.

Anyway, Finn doesn't really play stranger yet and doesn't mind being left alone in a room, most of the time (our day is coming, I'm sure!). Tonight, Finn was tired and I had gone tanning. When I got back, Jim was playing with him and then left to do something in the kitchen. Finn started fussing until Jim came back. This happened a couple times to which Jim responds, "Is it wrong that I like it when he cries when I leave the room?"

So funny and such a different perspective than me. I'm happy when he DOESN'T cry when I leave a room momentarily! I guess it was an outward sign that Finn knows who his daddy is, loves him and wants to be by him. See, Finn likes us both as much, just differently!
