Sara's off to LA for a few days for work, and Cam's staying with me.  Sara's dad is in town so that makes things easier.

Sara's been gone before, but it's been a long time since Cam has been without mommy and it was only for a night at a time.

Last night was the first night without Sara, and it started out fine, with Cam falling asleep with minimal fussiness.  I even mentioned to Sara's dad that it was way easier than I expected.

I had to go and open my mouth.

30 minutes later, Cam woke up. And cried... and cried... and cried.  And then cried some more.  No amount of soothing helped - he kept looking at the bed where Sara sleeps and frantically crying. Sheesh, what a momma's boy.

He ended up crying for an hour and a half before calming down enough for me to soothe him back to sleep.

After that it was pretty smooth sailing, with Cam falling back asleep within 15 min of waking everytime. There was one time where he wouldn't fall asleep for an hour, but he was only fussing during the hour, not really crying, so it was not so bad.

I expect Cam to go through another crying bout tonight without mommy, but hopefully it'll only be 30 minutes.
