That plan didn't pan out so well for me. Tyler kept tossing and turning so I would ask him if he needed to go potty, was he having a bad dream and none of these things were the problem. Then I started to get worried he was going to throw up because when he tosses and turns like that usually it is followed up by him tossing his cookies! He shook his head no and assured me that wasn't it, so I finally I asked the big question, Do you miss daddy? The explosion of belly sobs and uncontrollable crying after that was crazy. I couldn't get him to stop.
Jared does NOT like to be woken up from his sleep, but I threw caution to the wind and told Tyler we could call daddy and he could talk to him (and really at this point, I could careless how annoyed Jared made have gotten - but as a side note, he didn't get mad at all and it only made him sad and he wanted to come home and hold Tyler and snuggle him while scratching his back - which is Tyler's favorite thing).
We got Jared on the phone and Tyler kept crying so I put Jared on speaker and just let him talk to Tyler and slowly the crying stopped and the tears faded away. He never answered Jared out loud, he only shook his head. We said good night and goodbye and Tyler curled up into a little ball and I scratched his back until he fell asleep.
That day at church, Tyler was doing just fine. When it was time to go to class after 2nd hour, Tyler came over to me at the piano and had tears in his eyes again and was missing Jared. So I let him sit with me and we took a picture of his sad face and sent it to Jared. Look at the little tear coming out of his eye, poor buddy.
After church the kids video chatted with Jared and so far - things seem to be better!
