The Free Ride is over!

My husband was off work for a long while. His last work day was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and he just went back to work Monday! This is how Naomi spent that whole time! Usually her little chin was nestled right in the curve of his neck. Her little hand patting Daddy's back. I think she forgot she had legs! If she was down on the floor and her Daddy walked through the room she immediately threw her arms up to be lifted. If he was standing watching T.V. she was circling him letting him know, all he had to do was reach down and pluck her up. When he was trying to fix a lamp, up on his knees leaning on the back of the recliner fixing the switch, she was trying to climb up, grabbing hold of his pants pockets to try and pull herself up on the recliner too. She was pathetically attached to him! I don't know how many times he didn't realize she'd walked right up behind him and he knocked her down. He was up on a step ladder cleaning the ceiling fan and when he stepped down she was so close he somehow stepped right on her.
Now he's back to work. She's loving on me when she wakes up, unless we come down to find him still in the kitchen and then she abandons me. When he has to leave she comes back to me, but when he walks through the door in the evening, she's right there, waiting at the gate with her arms up. Her and the dog, I don't know which one loves him more!
