The best part about the Corona Virus lock down is that I got to be with Elliot and Max so much.
Since about early April, I had a schedule seeing Elliot: in the morning between 6:30 – 7:00 I would take him from him crib to Karolina to drink his milk bottle. Then we’d have breakfast together. He’d leave around 8:30 to be with Erin.
Erin brings him back around 12:30 – 1:00. I would see him briefly before his 2 hour nap.
So I’d go about 4 hours without seeing him. Before April, for 1/2 of March, I saw him all the time since Erin was not yet babysitting, yet we were all at home because of the Corona virus threat.
Yesterday was the first time I didn’t see him for 12 hours, and I really felt it. He went to 1/2 day of day care — which he started last week — but then Erin took him until 5:30 or so. Karolina picked him up and I didn’t get to see him until about 6:30. And I hadn’t seen him in the morning since I overslept.
Maybe this seems ridiculous. As I type it, I know it does. But not seeing him for so long after such a pattern of months does hurt.
