Augustine has had a pretty rough time with Andrew being out of town. I think this is the first time that Andrew has been gone and Augustine has actually comprehended that his daddy is going to be gone for a while. On top of that, he seems to be understanding so much cognitively right now that he's having a hard time coping emotionally. So this means we've been working though meltdown after meltdown after meltdown. Something I've bee trying to do to encourage him, though, is to make a simple calendar (and I do mean simple) to help show him how many days he has left until he sees his dad.
My hope today was to be able to track Andrew's progress on his way home. However, our printer doesn't work (evidently you need to have both color and black ink for it to work... Not just color... Don't get me started...). So I made a ghetto map of the US by tracing one off my computer onto tissue paper and then taping it onto craft paper.
Ghetto? Yes. But it works ;) Now time to stalk Andrew on iCloud as he makes his way across the country with our good friend, Adam! Drive safe, guys!
You did a great map!
