It's already hard to leave my boys and head to work, but today it got so much harder. I was working away when the land line at Starbucks began to ring. I saw my coworker pick up the phone, go through the greeting, and then give me a strange look. She put the phone up to my ear while saying, "this is weird."
Me: "Hello?"
Tristan: "MOMMY!"
Me: "Tristan? What are you doing?"
T: "Playing baseball. Miss you... lots"
Me: "I miss you, too. Does daddy know you called me?"
T: "Yeah. Love you, Mommy. Miss you"
(you could literally hear my heart break at this moment!)
Neil in the background: "Tristan, are you really talking to someone? Oh my, you really are. Sorry I didn't know he was calling."
(then you hear screaming as the iphone is taken away from him)
Me: "It's okay I'm just going to quit now."
Okay, so that last line didn't happen, but the working mom's guilt was thick tonight!
lucas is 18 mo and not only has made calls even though he can't really talk into the phone, he opened up my ipod touch and changed my facebook status. the other day when i was 'delayed' on getting his 'movie' aka baby einstein started he climbed out of his chair, cruised over to the remote and handed it to me as if to say 'duh mom, use this'. at least we know our boys are smart :-)
