My mother left Cyprus and went back to Moscow, Russia today. She stayed with us for one month, from 27th of February, which was exactly the day Olga and Maxim left the clinic. This means that today is the first time Olga and I are left to all parenting wonders alone. Noone will be helping us for some time now. In the clinic we had the assistance from all the trained personal. At home, my mother was doing lots of work and sharing the knowledge. Not any more though…<\/p>\n
Two hours after I came home from the airport, Maxim started crying, looking around and demanding something. Someone. He was looking for grandma. I calmed him down with some tea and songs. It was enough for a mere half an hour. Than he started again. Three hours later he was growling and jumping at me like a mad dog. I couldn’t believe my eyes! He was as furius as an animal. I was almost afraid of him. Almost. That is because he doesn’t have any teeth yet.<\/p>\n
Anyway, the fact is that Maxim is missing his grandma and there is nothing I can do about it. He is looking for her. He is crying. He is begging to bring her back. This is sad. But there is something which is even more sad – Maxim’s grandma is crying all over the place in Moscow. She is missing him already. I know that because she started it even before she left.<\/p>\n
