As you all know by now, I am away at work and CJ and Mommy are home together. Now Daddy wishes that this arrangement was the other way around but it is what it is and we have to live with it. Most of the updates about CJ come by way of Mommy through conversations on the phone or by AIM. Today was a little different. (Yes it is 12:20AM and I am on here typing about my Princess)
Today as I returned back from lunch I decided to check my emails to see what had changed from the half hour before.(I only get a half hour lunch because we are working this summer extended schedule and I do not like it one bit)So on my work email, not my personal one I have a message from Mommy. It the message she explains to me that CJ is having some serious separation anxiety. She informed me that CJ catches tantrums and cries when Mommy is not in her line of vision. She does not even want to play on the floor. She wants her Mommy and will stop at nothing to have her. Now I sensed the frustration that was accompanied by the email and I decided to call to gauge what the situation was.
Talking to Mommy I understood better the situation. Mommy mentioned sending her to the sitter on Friday's which I totally agree with, just not this Friday because we are going to the zoo. I agree wholeheartedly that CJ has to learn how to operate and function without her parents. Even though it is extremely hard for me to be away from her I know she needs to go through this. So of course I researched the topic a little bit and saw that this is a part of development for babies right at this age and it seems CJ is a textbook case. The great thing is that Mommy is on top of the game with all the coping mechanisms. (Honestly people, what would I do without Mommy)
Not being with my Princess during the week really takes a toll on me. I try to occupy myself so I do not have her on my mind but since August 7, 2009 C.J. Johnson is a part of my mind. Hearing what I read today makes me want to be with her even more now. I know it will not help at all but it will ease Daddy, and that counts for something.
So the email stalled my day a bit. I honestly wanted to drive home, relieve Mommy and see my princess. I did not though because the goodbye for Daddy would have been painful on my end. I also did not get a chance to speak to her today but will make it my business to hear her voice and for her to hear mine. In the meantime folks keep praying. I assure you it changes things, people, and situations.
