Jason went back to work today. He works 12's and with the commute he is gone about 14 hours... When he works, the kids don't see too much of him and they miss him terribly; especially Anthony. Tonight in the tub Anthony starts asking about Jason...
A: Momma, where daddy go?
M: He's at work, but he'll be home after our bath.
A: Green truck green truck where a you?
M: He didn't take the green truck today babe...
A:No green truck today?
M: Nope, not today.
A: After tubby, I go look for daddy with my anoculairs?
M:Sure you can use your binoculars....
We finish our bath, get dressed, and Anthony rushes down the stairs and watches out the front door. Every time he sees car lights, he starts screaming "Daddy coming!!!" Then he is so disappointed when its not him.... He will be here soon though!

That is so sweet!! I can't imagine how hard that would be. it is hard enough for my kids when Hubby is gone to basketball. Last night was the first night where he left at 6:30 pm and didn't get home till 8:50pm so he was here only an hour. Noah was difficult last night i think b/c of it. :(
He is your little man of the house!
It can be heartbreaking when they are waiting for them. When we were in the hospital, Cameron would constantly ask for his daddy. It drove me insane because I had to keep saying, "He is at work." He didn't get the concept that he wouldn't be seeing him for a long time. I HATED it. When he would come visit, Cameron would LOVE it but break down when he would leave. It is so hard on boys and their daddy's. I am sure Jason misses them when he is gone on long shifts.
He's so sweet. I love that little boy!! And Madison, too, of course!!
