I’ll be leaving for So. Cal. in 2 days for a literary ministry seminar. Will be gone for 4 days, including travel time. It’ll be my first time away from Xuanie overnight. 6 hours in daycare is probably the longest I have ever been away from him, since he was 7 months, when I stopped working.
Previously I was worried he may not be weaned by this time. Now that he’s weaned, I am still worried. He’s caught some flu virus from the daycare (again) and have not been well since Sunday. I hope he gets much better by Thurs, for it will be doubly hard for him to have to deal with both physical discomfort and emotional distress of not seeing me when he gets home from daycare.
I have been prepping him, telling me I am going to take a plane, and papa will be with him, and then after 3 nights I will be back. Not sure how much he understands, for he simply smiles each time I tell him.
I have also drafted a menu of all the meals and snacks he will need, so his papa can feed him properly. This evening, I started making his dinners for the days I will be gone, and freezing them.
Maybe I’m the one that will not survive the short separation.
