Airplane....

Asked the kiddo this morning...he was lying on his beloved pillow, drinking his milk.....

"Cayden ..... do you want to take a plane to see Papa ?"

He immediately sat up and looked at me....so I asked him again

"do you want to take a plane to see Papa ?"

He nodded his head eagerly and said " ya......plane......papa..."

Awwwww.....so sweet......

Mama....

When I picked up Cayden from the CC today, Amy told me that Cayden kept insisting "ma-ma...ma-ma". during the session where the teacher would talk and interact with the kids. And the topic for today was "Daddy-What do you like most about your Daddy".

Apparently, he ran up to Amy and force her to look into his eyes and said "ma ma" when the rest of the kids are talking about their daddy and how they pick them up from CC.

When I heard that, my heart broke. He is clearly affected by the absence of his father. And I noticed recently that when I asked him whether he wants to talk to papa, he would say "NO" very loudly and firmly. But when I turned on the webcam, he would ran to me and sat down in front of me and wait for his father to appear.

I dun know what to do but started a ritual for him. When I switch off the light and before he fell asleep just now, I told him "Papa said hug hug Cayden, Papa said kiss kiss cayden, Papa said I love you Cayden....." I could see him smiling when I hug and kiss him ..........

I wish I know what goes on in that little mind and how I can help him to make it easier and less painful.
