Forlorn
Hello to all.
Tonight was the wing Christmas party. Aunt Chelle drove down to overnight with Xavier as no child care was available this year.
Xavier grew more and more excited as the time for Aunt Chelle to arrive neared. He also pulled a chair over to the front window and waited (occasionally) for Aunt Chelle to arrive.
When she arrived and told him it's nap time, then afterward they can play. I've never seen Xavier leap into bed so quickly! They had games and fixing pizza for dinner planned. Obviously, Xavier anticipated great fun and did not miss Daddy leaving.
Well, why Mom and Dad were enjoying a 40s-themed shindig, decent food, good company and free dance lessons, Xavier's expectations did not live up to the dream. Instead of helping fix pizza, he knelt in the chair by the window with a melancholy expression, wanting Mom and Dad to come home.
