Phone call

We had a lovely phone call from LMS last week. I haven't been able to blog about it yet as I got so emotional to speak to her, we haven't actually spoken (just emailed) since she went to America. It was wonderful to hear her voice, and it brought to the surface all the emotions I've been putting to the back of my mind - missing her, worrying about her and loving her to bits. I cried when we answered the phone, and even more when we said goodbye, and again when I went to bed. It was so hard to hear her voice and not be able to give her a hug. I miss her so much. Little Prince misses her a lot too, and so he got totally overwhelmed by speaking to his Biggest Sis. He acted totally crazy after speaking to her for a few minutes, and I had to spend most of "my turn" trying to calm him down and not let him hurt himself or Princes Lollipop. I am sure it reminded LMS of how chaotic life her can be!! Not sure that is a good thing!! Princess Lollipop listened to LMS on the phone but didn't say too much, she did smile a lot though. And all evening and the next day, everytime she heard anyone in the hall she would get all excited and shout "LMS tumming" (LMS coming) and get sad when LMS didn't appear. She has started to look at the photo of LMS we have on the wall and when asked where LMS is, she gets very angry and shouts "NO" at the top of her voice. I think she is missing her Biggest Sis too.
