These past two days, it wasn’t easy leaving Abby in the mornings. Her new yaya arrived two weeks ago and Abby never cried the first day that I left her with the new yaya. Since yesterday, Abby would cry when she senses that we’re getting ready to leave. She’d scream and yell at her loudest voice and clings to me really tight. When I called home after I arrived in the office, the little drama queen was still crying and she wouldn’t let me put down the phone. I spent time comforting her and telling and inventing stories on the phone until she got tired then I said goodbye. And I felt guilty because the only time that we can focus on her is during weekends. When we got back in the evening, I didn’t do my stuff like reading or watching dvd or open my PC. I dedicated my evening time to her until she fell asleep. This morning, I got problem because hubby let her sit in the car while preparing to leave.But unlike yesterday, her crying didn’t last long. I still don’t know if there’s a repeat episode tomorrow. We’ll try not to prolong our departure no matter how hard it may be leaving her screaming for me, just quick goodbyes in the morning.
