Change is a Commin'

I know Roman is only 2 ½ (almost 3) but I swear he can sense what's going on. Every time John walks out the door he's at the window watching to see where he's going. When ever John is gone he asks "Where'd Dad go?" "Dad's at work?". He knows that John isn't going to be here much longer. The entire time John was is Minnesota (two weeks) he would ask where he was, when he was coming home. When John went back to Minnesota for SRP (only gone two days) he started waking up really early, sometimes 4:30-5 am and most recently it's been 5-6 am. He comes into our bedroom with his blue "gagi" (as he calls) and gets in bed with me and sometimes goes back to sleep and sometimes asks to watch his favorite cartoons. Last night was a little different. It was about 9:30 pm and John and I are in the living room talking and looking at stuff on the computer when we hear Roman's door slowly creaking open and there he is. He had been asleep for maybe an hour and we still have no idea what woke him up but he was up. We tried to get him to go lay back down but he started crying, he wanted to get into our bed. At his age he has no concept of time, all he knew was that he was asleep and he woke up and now it's time to get in bed with Mom. We let him lay down in there for a while (at John's protest) and eventually was able to convince him to go lay down in his room. 6 am rolls around this morning and like clock work there he is ready to climb in bed with me. I can say that I don't see an end to this any time soon and possibly getting worse before the year is over. Hopefully I'll be able to get him out of the habit before John comes home.
