The kids have been pretty good about Dad’s absence. Corwin and Charles have both asked when he is coming back, and seem accepting of the date. Alice is ok during the day, but at night she often wants to wander back downstairs and look for Daddy. Hanging with Daddy for a bit at night was part of her semi-regular routine. I try to keep her upstairs, but eventually, I let her wander down and follow her. She shuffles around looking confused, and finally submits to my picking her up and taking her back upstairs.
