Da Da look alike

Sad story from the day.....
We met Aren and Avery for lunch at chick-fil-a today. We were in the parking lot about to go in when a guy and his wife pulled up next to us. When they got out of their car all Weston kept saying was "da da" over and over. I looked at the guy and he was tall with dark curly hair. I tried to tell Weston that it wasn't his dad but it just looked like him. So we walk in and as soon as we get in the door Weston runs toward that guy and tries to grab onto his leg. I tried to catch him and then explained politely to the guy what my child was doing. He just smiled and kept ordering. Weston LOST it....he started crying and then looking around like he didn't know where he was. Poor thing had thought his dad didn't want him. I tried to console him but it just wasn't working. He kept crying "da da" and looking at the guy. I finally had to take him to the bathroom and calm him down....and then the chicken helped :) The guy did look a lot like Logan....I felt really bad for Weston. Obviously you can't quite explain that to an almost 2 year old. He just thinks his da da didn't want to pick him up :(
