Is this a 'normal' 5 year old thing? (normal used loosely). It has just been very intense the last day or so. Thoughts? Commiserations? Wine? I will accept any and all of the above.

Yes to all of the above.
I grew up on stories of how my older sib, as a toddler/preschooler would walk around the house greeting all the inanimate objects, on return from trips...then our kids were born, and lo, and behold, they did the same thing! I would say it's a security thing--controlling the things he can control, in the absence of one of his usual anchors.
