Bear went for a business trip

Bear went to France for a business trip for 1 wk. I still had to work during that wk. Therefore, BB was taken care by auntie Grace (from the day care) for overnites. I really appreciated for her help. Certainly I really missed Bear for the whole week and missed BB while she was in the day care. I felt really sorry for her to stay overnites in the day care because of my "abnormal" working schedules. She cried and requested me to stay with her on the 1st nite she was in the day care, but I couldn't. I began to hate my "abnormal" working schedules. But it is also one of my job natures. I have no choice unless I quit it.

In these few wks (after she turned to 2yrs and 2 mons old), I found that BB had gone through a lot of changes. She began to speak much much more. She had more emotions and frustrations. She was insecure and always said that she felt scary. She asked for her pacifier more often (normally she only had it when she wanted to sleep). She always sticked to me and cried when I tried to walk away. I believed that she missed daddy, but she didn't voice out.

On the day Bear came back from Paris, BB didn't allow bear to hold her hands and not even touched her. She went away from Bear and ran to me. On the 2nd day, she still loved to stick with me rather than bear. She preferred me to do things for her and stayed with her. It was so weird. Sometimes, I really felt tired. Now I can totally understand the experience sharing from Den.

Today Bear took her to the day care in the morning. She cried and climbed on bear when bear tried to hand her over to auntie Grace. It never happened since her day 1 in the day care (in the day time). We had no cue what happened to her. But glad that she was settled down easily in this morning.

During the week while Bear was away, I began to understand the difficulties that a single parent may have. I began to realize how to care about those single parents. I thanked God for this experience. I also thanked God for giving me a good husband to be with me and to take care of me and our baby. Also thank God that Bear came back home safely.
