So my Grandma daycare decides to take the weekend and head off to see her other grandchildren. Normally this would cause a bit of scrambling to try and find someone else to take care of my son but this time she wants to take him with her. My husband and I discussed it and decide.. 3 days with no kid .. is there a downside to this.
I'm here officially to say that YES there is. About five hot seconds after he left my house I was already missing him and he wasn't even leaving town yet. He was merely spending the night at Grandma's house so that he could take off with them first thing in the morning.
The next day while he was driving I realized what it felt like to have no control. Every horrible catastrophe played through my head while I tried to convince myself I was just being a drama queen. I felt powerless and weirdly it wasn't that I was terrified something would happen to him.. I was terrified that if something DID happen to him I wouldn't be there to comfort him.. I wouldn't be there to make things just a little less scary for him. Does that make any sense.. probably not but there it is.
He of course went and hung out with his cousins and had a lot of fun doing so to the point where when I called him I kept getting dead air as an answer to my questions until he answered honestly.. "Mommy I think I'm done talking to you." There you have it, no matter how much I was sitting there missing him he was having more fun than you can imagine and that little tidbit made it all worth it for me.
I'm happy that he had fun but I'm happier he's home.
