When Allan has a business trip, we try to call everyday. Sometimes we can talk a few times during the day. With him in China this time, talking is a little trickier.
According to the kids, Allan is in the future, since he is thirteen hours ahead of us. When we get up in the morning, he is exhausted and ready to crawl into bed. Jet lag is not fun! By the time he comes home next week, he will have to readjust to “normal” time.
I am very thankful for Skype! Allan calls us over the computer as often as he can. We can see each other and talk. Our conversations are short, but Allan does not seem as far away this way.
Megan is struggling with missing her Daddy. She woke up last night calling for him. After snuggling and reminding her that Daddy loves her very much and will call soon, she fell back to sleep. I am so glad that she has a way to talk to him everyday.
The only negative is that she seems to think if she gets the headphones on Daddy will be on the computer, ready to talk to her. I find her by the computer with the headphones a few times everyday. Just waiting….
