In the past 48 hours the boys and I have barely seen Ryan. He is attending a conference that is being held just across the street, but the location is little consolation since he is gone all day. I don't know how moms/dads do it where one spouse travels for work a lot. I don't like it! Ben associates meal times with daddy coming home since Ryan is able to come home for lunch every day and comes home right before dinner most days. It was very sad when he went looking for his daddy every time we got ready to eat. Last night he asked for his daddy when I put him to bed. This morning Ryan was leaving at 7:30am and Ben said, "I need daddy home me more." We did get to see him more than the other 80 or so families that were represented by the people attending the conference and he will be done in just a few hours from now, so I will count my blessings.
The conference was actually live streaming online so we joined in for parts of it. That was pretty cool. We could easily pick out Ryan's gray spot on the back of his head :) Here is a short video of us joining daddy as best we could.
This morning Ben decided to read his books to Nate. Ryan does most of the book-reading, so maybe Ben decided he needed to step up and be the man of the house today. ha.
Holding hands and reading.
Nate moved their hands to his mouth to have a little snack while Ben read.
Ben has a kid's CD in our 5 disc CD player. He knows to push the third green button to get his music to play. This morning he needed Nate to dance along.
Ben decided Nate needed some plastic vegetable medley.
Cute in his new-to-him toy.
I put Nate in his bumbo in front of his toys. Ben moved his chair onto Nate's mat and joined in the play.
