On the way home from town today, this was our discussion:
C- "Mom, what's wrong with our house?"
M- "What do you mean, sweetie?"
C- "Our old house, Mom. What's wrong with it?"
M- "Which house, Chase?"
C- "You know, the one where we lived in California! What's wrong with it?"
M- "Why do you think something's wrong with it?"
C- "It's just sad. Our old house is sad."
M- "Why is our house sad, baby?"
C- "It misses us, Mom. He misses me."
How heart wrenching is that? It's funny that he misses that house so much because this one is much newer and nicer. I guess he's like his Daddy, and that CA house just felt like "home" to him. We've only been here about 8 weeks. I know he'll start feeling better here.
Then we get home, and Logan had fallen asleep in the car. I unloaded the groceries and went back to get him. I picked him up, and he mumbled, "Dad? Oh, Daddy!"
*sigh* These kiddos are so strong, and so resilient. I hope we get to see Daddy soon.

Awwww, how sweet and sad is that? Poor little guy.
Just tell him that your new house was lonely too, and it was waiting for a new family full of love to fill it up. So, that's why you are there now. And, someday, you will move on to a new place to share the love a little more. :)
