cry-a-lot

From BabyCenter this week:
If your child gets upset when you leave her now, she's right on schedule. Twelve to 18 months is prime time for separation anxiety — a psychological term that means your toddler can't bear to be without you. The best way to handle painful farewells is to keep them short and sweet: Say goodbye with a quick kiss and head out the door. Your toddler's tears will subside soon after you're out of sight. It's hard not to feel guilty, but in the long run you'll help your child become more independent.

No wonder Joel is crying all the time!
It always sound like "there's a lot of sobbing and lots of tears"...but when i go find him, it isnt what i had imagined. Most of the time, he looks really sad though. So i give him a hug and carry him. ;)
