Aly, I was thinking the same as you. I will try not to overexaggerate my entrances. We do try to make our departures quick. A quick kiss on the head or a hug and we leave. I think he just got used to the summer when there was always one of the kids or parents home with him. I suppose it's a change for him. Thanks for the tips. I'll tell my siblings and parents to "ignore" him when we get home. At least for a few minutes.

I forgot to mention, he also doesn't really eat or drink. His bowls were both still pretty full when I got home. I hope this doesn't develop into anything worse.
