Our car is in the shop getting some body work done (don't ask--it just gets me all worked up) and will probably be there all week so Gusi is getting a ride from a friend/classmate who lives up the road. He and his dad came by this morning to pick Gusi up for school and dropped him off at noon.
When he got home, he scarfed down his turkey and cranberry sauce sandwich (ok, so the bird does taste better when you smother it in sauce) and asked to play outside. When I saw that it was getting toward his nap time, he had to come in and a tantrum took place. I put him in his little chair that appropriately says "time out" at the end of the hallway. He cried for his father almost the entire time. After he calmed down we went to his room to read a book before his nap. Through the sniffles he told me that he had been crying for his father while he was in time out. Yes, I told him, I know. I explained that his father was at the office. He then told me that he didn't want his Papi to go to the office, he didn't want Papi to work. I explained that Papi needed to work so he could have clothes, toys and food. He said he didn't want any of that, he said he wanted a Papi that didn't have a job so he could play with him all day long. Obviously his Papi not taking him nor picking him up from school made an impact on him. Ugh and later this week Papi will be going to the US for a conference...Gusi is in for a tough time as am I. At least when Papi returns my mom's arrival won't be too far behind and then it will be Christmas! So, somethings to look forward to.
