Stressful Farewells

---

This is the first time that we will have left our three offspring at home on their own for more than two weeks, and Issy's finding the thought of this very stressful. Emma's not too relaxed about it either, and if Coco knew that his precious mother was about to desert him for two months he'd be howling the house down by now. Troy's gone away with some friends so Scott and Emma drive us to the airport. We find out later that Emma started crying when she got back to the car. We're very glad we didn't know about this at the time; she never cries.
