Missing Dad

The hubs is away this weekend and so it's just me and the little peanut for the next couple days. A year ago when SK went away for the weekend and ESK was only a few months old, I thought I was going to die. But it's a whole lot easier now that ESK is a little older. Plus, sometimes I like to just eat a bowl of cereal for dinner. That's something I can't do when hubs is home.

Anyway, ESK is definitely her daddy's little girl. Last night as I was getting ready to put her to bed, we heard a door closing/opening from outside, probably a neighbor getting home/leaving. Elise suddenly got up and walked down the long, dark corridor to our front door. Halfway down, she stopped, dropped to her knees and started crying softly.

Apparently, she thought her daddy had come home and was expecting to see him round the corner. I fetched her and went about trying to distract her. But she went down the hall two more times, looking for her dad and crying. I finally put her down for bed, but she had a very good, hard cry before she finally fell asleep.

We're missing daddy for sure.
