Barney did this too. I started pretending to leave. I would go out and come back in 5, 10, or 15 minute intervals. I wouldn't make eye contact or talk to him until he calmed down. My husband thought I was cruel. (I did too). But it really helped. I have read that when you make a big deal about leaving and coming back that they can develop separation anxiety. Now that he is older, I hug and kiss him when I come in. But when he was little I just played it cool so he wouldn't think it was a big deal.
