Keeping Her Distracted and Me Caffeinated
by Jessica
I know it is been a while since I posted. Trust me, we have been busy between music
class, playdates and swim class. Let’s
not even discuss how the cable company came to fix our internet only to
disconnect my home security! While all
this is happening my husband is still in Nebraska working hard. Since he’s gone I have tried to keep me and my
little girl busy. Every morning we cross off a day on our calendar and say
daddy will be home on the day circled in red. She now points to the day and says
“Daddy Home” each morning. But even with how busy we are and our routine FaceTime
during bedtime with dad, I can see a change in our little girl. For one she is
usually independent and will only ask for me if she needs help. Now that it is
just us two she has to be at my side at all times. The first thing my daughter
says in the morning is “coffee” when we enter the kitchen. This little one will
literally sit on my lap to watch a show on the couch. Even though she only two
years old she definitely has picked up on daddy being gone. It breaks our
hearts that she misses her daddy so much.
So we do what all parents do we find ways to distract her. I have been
planning a daily fun activity every day. We baked banana muffins, French toast and
pizza fondue.
She loves helping in the
kitchen and wants to do everything herself.
My wonderful hubby has made it a point to send Miss F a present a week.
The first week flowers were delivered to our house (she couldn’t stop smelling
them).
Most recently he mailed her Halloween books now we read them before bed.
As the time passes, I can’t help thinking about the moment we will all be
together again! But until then I will continue to be silly and creative with
our little girl. Don’t worry I will be writing
a new sewing post soon.
My coffee obsession continues. This week I made my
sister bring me Empire Decaf French Vanilla from a great coffee place in
Hoboken, NJ.
