"I don't want to leave the fun!"

The day before we left on our long journey back to our icy home in the North, my eldest son cried and cried, and sadly told me that he didn’t want to leave the fun!

I was so sad for him because he knew that once he was home, and the vacation was no more, and the internet was back in our lives, he and his brothers would no longer be the center of our attention. I told him that I was very sad as well, but we had to go back home now.

As we drove off the resort the following day, he said “mommy, are you still sad?”... and I, wanting to show him that I understood his feelings, said, “yes baby, I am, are you?”... and my baby then cheerfully responded with “ummm, no, not anymore!”
