Eight Months
"You really don't like when your mommy leaves do you?" Dil asked as Ji Yeon sat on the floor crying as her mother walked out the door.
Ji Yeon shook her head no as the tears spilled down her cheeks.
"It's ok. I don't really like when my mommy leaves either, but it gets easier the older you get." Dil promised.
"I remember when it first happened." Ji Yeon sniffled.
"You want to tell me about it?" Dil asked handing Ji Yeon her baby panda rattle."Who knows by the time your done telling me the story maybe your mommy will be back."
Ji Yeon smiled and was about to begin her story when she was picked up and put in her high chair. Dil followed and st down next to her. Dil began eating his macaroni and cheese while Ji Yeon had a food pouch filled with mashed bananas.
"Are you going to tell the story?" Dil asked as Jin walked out of the room to get some work done.
"Oh yeah." Ji Yeon said setting the food pouch food down on her high chair tray.
"I was home with my daddy, which didn't happen very much. I watched my mommy leave. I don't really know why but I just started crying and couldn't stop. My daddy picked me up and put me on my fishie water play mat, which stracted me so I stopped crying. I soon got bored of the fishies and looked around for something else to do. I couldn't crawl yet, so I was stucked. I looked over by where the lamp was and saw my daddy put something where the lamp string goes into the wall."
"I started to get hungry so I cried again. My daddy stopped what he was doing and put me in my bouncy seat. That's when I got my first taste of mushy nanas. I tried a lot of new food since then."
"What's your favorite food?" Dil asked as he finished his mac and cheese.
Ji Yeon thought for a minute then said."Watermellon."
"I don't like watermellon to much. I think I eated to much of it once when I was smaller." Dil told her.
Once both kids finished their lunch they were put down for a nap.
"Eomma." Ji Yeon saidd as Mi Sun got her out of her crib and took her to the living room with Dil following behind.
They were given a snack and watched Tangled while they waited for dinner to be cooked.
"What did you say when your mommy got you out of bed?" Dil asked.
"I said mama." Ji Yeon answered.
"Was that your first word that you ever said to the grown ups?" Dil asked.
"Yep, It happened when my mommy came back after leaving me with my daddy for the day."
"I had just finished my bath and my daddy was reading me a story on the couch. I looked up when I heard the door open and there was my mommy. I was happy she was back and I just made the word that we had been practicing on for a long time come out. It made my mommy smile."
A/N The next chapter might be the longest in this story. I've already started it and hope to get it posted sometime today after I get some sleep seeing as its 3 AM here.
