  I got DS one of his favorite books, but the kind where you record yourself reading it, when I had to be gone a lot wen he was really little. He's 7 now as still loves it. I also did a video if me singing bed time sings and telling him I love him.

  Yeah I'd think that the 7 year old would be harder.  We left DS (18 months) for 7 days with my parents and he didn't really notice.  He cried a bit whenever he saw something that reminded him of us (like an old t-shirt) so my parents just tried to anything like that out of the way.  Otherwise he was completely content.

  7 year old will be fine. She spends 6 weeks away from us with her ... other dad.... during summer. Baby however is super clingy. I left him with Gma on Saturday for 2 hours and he cried non stop the whole time. makes me WAY more nervous.

  My husband planned the trip, it was to Russia, so no, I couldn't bring baby. It ended up being a good time and the kids were fine.

  glad you had a good trip. lol at this thread being derailed by people who disagree with your choice. did you notice big changes in your LO when you returned? i have two business trips in july that are not as long as your trip, but i'm still a little worried about my 14 mo.
