I really miss Evan now that I've been in Colorado for a week. My roommate has been great about watching Evan and his daycare provider has been very accommodating - taking Evan for 4 afternoons in addition to his regular morning schedule.
My roommate let Evan talk to me on the phone. Normally this is nothing more than hearing him breathe. Today, something clicked. I tried to use some of Evan's new words and he started saying "down" to the dog after I asked him to. I then told him "bye bye" and he waved, as my roommate reported. This was a huge step in my mind and it went a long way to making me feel better about being so far away.
I hope to return to LA on Monday.
