Homesick

Whew....I think I'm finally all caught up on my blogging. And if not, well, I'm tired and I don't remember anything else so that's pretty much all you're gonna get - ha!

 ---------------------------------------------

Last night Xavier was going to spend the night with my parents. We told him at 11am that he was going at noon. So of course for the next hour he told me ever 20 seconds that he was ready to go to grandmas. He loves it there. When i dropped him off he said "mommy, you can go home now" and wanted me gone so he could have his one on one time with grandma. They had a blast all afternoon, refilling her coffee trays, making angel food cake, going to the ice cream store with the neighbors, playing in grandpa's sprinklers, etc. Before bed we did "Face time" with X. Walter, Wes, and I were all together talking to him.

And something about that Face time call was just too much for him. When we finished up our talk and got off the phone X told grandma he was done eating his snack, his tummy hurt, and he was ready to go home. He told grandma, "My mommy misses me."  She tried to change his mind, but nothing worked.

My little boy was homesick after seeing us all on Face time.

So, my mom drove him home and I put him to bed here.

There is a part of me that is happy that he wanted to be with us and feels such comfort in our home. But the other part was kind of aggravated because I was enjoying the break from X and Wes arguing and having one less child to care for for a little bit. But it just wasn't meant to be.....

I tell ya, just when I think I might have this kid figured out, he always seems to change it up on me.
