En route up North with my son to spend some quality together before everyone goes back to school.
He was psyched to get on the road when we woke up Friday morning. As we pulled into the hotel tonight, he had a meltdown; saying he wanted to go home to be with his mom.
The fact that he was tired certainly played a big part of said meltdown. He is 5 after all and I’m sure he’s very confused by our separation. God knows I am.
Still, he hasn’t seen her in 12 hours and he’s freaking out. He hasn’t seen me in a month; and while he was ecstatic 3 days ago, it’s like I’m old news. I’m trying to keep in mind the five year old state of mind, but it’s still hard.
