I think they get upset because they dont' know you are coming back. Once you get him into a routine that yes you will be gone for a little bit, but you will be back he'll be fine. Logan knows our routine to a tee and has adjusted very well. He has a special toy in his playpen, and he gets a dental chew when we put him in there in the morning. He has a peepad, comfy bed and chew bones and we also leave the t.v. on for him. It doesn't seem to bother him at all. Some mornings he's not quit ready to be put in, but he doesn't make too big a fuss.
