Leaving Maddie for that long was harder than we both thought. Pat was gone for work the 3 weeks before we left for Mexico, so he was having a hard time right from the start. I have not been away from her for 8 nights before, so it was also an adjustment for me. Calling to check in and hear her little voice was great! "Hi mama, where are u?"
Then we came home. . . . . .and we were surprised to see how she was. She was so excited to see us and gave us endless hugs and kisses! If either one of us would leave the room, she would freak out and chase after us. Luckily she was so tired that she crashed HARD the first night we were back (and we did too). She wouldn't go to bed at night for us and would cry in her crib, "Daddy, are you still here? Daddy? Please come by me daddy!" Pat would rock her to sleep and then in the morning I would hear, "Mama, u there? I want to come by you mama!" The poor thing thought that we were going to leave her again! There were a few mornings that I ended up going and getting her and bringing her to bed with me because 5:30am is a tad early for me!! Drop offs at kid care while I worked were tough as well because she didn't want me to leave. We knew that she would miss us, but we didn't realize it would affect her this much.
There have been lots of snuggle time, plenty of Disney movies played, and endless hours playing with her non-stop in an effort to make her feel comfortable again.
Here is one of my favorite mornings last week. . . .
While laying in bed with her one morning this is what was said . . .
Maddie: "Mama. . . .mama, u sleeping mama?"
Me: "Yes Maddie, now you go back to sleep to." **my eyes still closed**
Maddie: "I cant mama, it hurts."
Me: "What hurts Maddie?" **eyes are slightly open looking at her**
Maddie: **picking her nose**
Me: "Maddie please don't pick your nose, its yucky"
Maddie: "But I have boogies mama"
Me: "Even if you have boogies you shouldn't pick your nose, its gross"
Maddie: "Fine mama, you pick it then!"
I could not stop laughing after she said that! Needless to say, neither of us slept any more than morning!
Things are starting to get back to normal, but this past week has been a hard one for all of us! With Pat gone this week for work, we are curious to see how the adjustment will be when he gets home Friday!
A HUGE THANK YOU to my parents and Pat's mom for watching her while we were gone. She was spoiled rotten and loved every minute of it! She even ratted them out on what they gave her after we got home.
"Nana took me for burger and fries and choc milk and toys"
"Grandma fed me french fries and pizza and. . . . . . ."
Thank you again for taking such good care of her, we love you guys!!!
