Aidan has asked a few times when I'll be leaving. I put the date of our leaving on the calendar and the date of our return and suggested that he cross off the dates. He said he would not do this, but maybe I could call him and send him some pictures because he's seen on tv where people do that when they are apart.
Today when he got home from school he asked if he could bring Eva into class for Show and Tell. He then asked again if I would call him sometimes while I am away.
We are going to set up an email account for him and he and Daddy will check it each night to see if he has any new messages.
It is going to be really hard to be away from my baby.
