Revenge of the toddler?

I'm back after a great overseas vacation.

While Mr. Charm City Moms and I had a great time, we could not wait to get back to see our little boy.

He wasn't exactly thrilled to see us, though. He was hesitant and confused when he first saw us. It took a little bit of time for him to warm up to us.

While he was an absolute angel with grandma Kathy -- no tantrums, no crying and no resistance during bed time -- Jake has been acting up since we've returned.

It has been difficult to put him to bed. And practically everything out of his mouth has been, "No!"

I'm thinking it's a mix of separation anxiety and a little anger that we left him for so long.

Have you seen something similar after a long absence?
