I also wonder if DD2 has a feeling of, Daddy has suddenly gone and she could be worrying that I might just dissappear too. Can they think like that at this age (11months).
I guess there must be so many factors to it all and me as an adult am thinking about it to much when to DD2 it is daddy was here and now he is not and I don't know why.
We do the big trip to the airport too and wave bye and everything so it is not just a here and then gone thing. We also will go and wait at the airport for him. DD1 loves going there. But gets more excited to watch the trucks on the runways then the planes

We did have a good night last night though. Bed at 8 and slept through till 4:45am, quick drain of my boobies and back to sleep till 6:50am. Problem was I kept waking because I am use to it

Big to all us mummies that comfort our baby/babies when our overhalf are away.
