Or if you call, don't call at bedtime as then she'll have nothing to do but miss you. If you do call, do it in the morning, her morning not necessarily your morning.
She'll be fine. Let the people taking care of her enjoy her and enjoy time with whoever you're spending it with.

Just a thought, but does she know how to count to five? Maybe you could
give her a string with five beads on it and every night she could take one
off? Something like that to give her some tangible concept of time. Unless
you think she could handle it, if you call I wouldn't talk to her on the
phone.

Through the sunny fields of yesterday
Echo voices of children now grown,
Their golden peals of laughter
Ring upon the ivied stone.

Hi. Circumstances have come up that have given me no choice but to leave
Sarah with a family friend for about five days and five nights while her dad
and I go out of town. The sitters are completely trustworthy, so I'm not
worried about that at all, but I've never left her for nearly that long.
Two nights has been the max. I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to
make this easier on Sarah. Have any of you had to do this, and what helped?
Or maybe it's only me who's worrying too much, and she'll be unphased by the
whole thing. Thanks for anything you all can offer, this list really is a
helpful resource.
