I think it's safe to say that Eli sure has missed his Daddy this month! Really with Brad on call every third night, it's like we only see him every third day. The first day of the rotation he leaves at 630am and gets home the next day around 1pm, then sleeps the rest of the afternoon. So we get a glimpse of him when he gets up just before Eli's bedtime, then it's the next day that we get to see him home for dinner (see, every third day).
Eli has really gotten into wrestling Daddy and will just lay on the ground whenever he sees Brad and point to himself and say "Dada, Dada!" meaning for Brad to come tackle him. The other day when Brad was on call, at least three times during the day Eli went to the bottom of the stairs and laid there, pointing to himself and calling up the stairs for "Dada!" Brad even called during one of the episodes and it broke his heart to hear Eli calling for him. I tried to explain that Dada was at work, but he was pretty persistent. Then yesterday, I took him to the post office and the dr's office, and every man he saw he would call "Dada!" Or "There's a dada, bye bye dada."
Needless to say we love Dada and miss him and can't wait for this shift to be over =).

Oh, Ryan has been busy enough, but never like that. Good luck!
That's so sweet and so sad! We have been having the same exact thing with Dashle around here. Every morning he comes down the stairs and runs to the office calling "Daddy! Daddy!" It is sad. I can tell when he is really missing his old dad b/c he's super fussy and is saying, "Daddy" every couple of minutes. Hang in there! ;)
Hang in there! Those days are rough! With Chris' crazy hours we have similar stretches like that where Parker won't see his Daddy for a few days... It stinks... what else can you say? How cute that Eli is so attached though and likes to wrestle with Brad. I love it! Speaking of wrestling, how is Eli's soon to be newest wrestling buddy?? Time is winding down! How are you feeling??
