Justin Misses Daddy
Hubby is in China for 2 weeks, and Justin has already started showing signs of missing daddy. Normally, he won’t look for daddy during the day, and after some days of not seeing daddy (hubby works in KL for a few days in a week), he’ll start to cry in the night and say “papa, papa”.
Papa is the first word he knows how to sound. Hubby started teaching him papa when he’s a newborn, and I thought it’s a silly idea. I’ve always thought babies only start talking when they’re about 1 year old, but Justin started saying papa correctly and referring to hubby at about 8 months old.
So, he’ll cry and ask for papa when he misses daddy. Then, he’ll ask me to carry him to our wedding photo and he’ll touch hubby’s face. I’ve always wanted to capture this and show to hubby how much Justin misses him, but waking up in the middle of the night and attending to a crying baby makes my brain malfunction for a while, just can’t remember to get the viewcam. Of coz, too sleepy to do so too.
There are still more than a week to go. Hopefully, Justin will get some comfort by looking at hubby’s photo. At least our wedding photo means something to our baby.

Hide those novelty socks with the hem of a pair of tailor-made trousers. Team with an appropriate shirt and tie and you are good to go (remember to leave those flashing Cufflinks at home).,,

installing a internet viewcam might help ease his yearning for papa when he’s abroad.

Justin so smart, knows how to show signs of missing daddy at 10 months old.
My son misses daddy too, he would point to the wedding photo when i asked him “Jo, where is papa?” Or, he would take out the family photo and point to daddy, by the same time, he would pretend to cry (sign of missing daddy!!)
Your Justin can meet daddy after 2 weeks time, my Joshua is also going to meet his daddy after 16 days (being separated around 1+ month). Hurray!! Mummy miss daddy too…
