This morning, my son and I were left together to have some father and son bonding. My wife went out to bring our daughter to school and attend a prayer meeting with the other mothers.
While my wife was out, I tried to have a play time with my son to keep him busy and entertained. After a while, I have to let him play on his own at the puzzle mat so that I could finish some of the things in my to do list for today.
However, due to unknown reasons, my son just won't stop crying every time I put him down. I had to close our main door at times because I thought some of our neighbors are being disturbed by the cries of my son. Tried playing with him again, sat by his side, carried him up, danced with him, rocked him on the rocking chair... All in a vain attempt to calm him down and help him to stop crying.
Then came my wife, two hours after she left. After a change of clothes, she took our son from the playpen and played with him on the puzzle mat. Immediately after, our son stopped crying, played with my wife with all smiles.
It was a crazy Monday morning for me and my son. I guess he just misses his mom very much.
