Coming home

A while ago, I noticed something about the twins. Whenever anyone in the family leaves the house, one (or both) of them will ask, "You come home?" They're fine with people leaving as long as they know you'll come back. And since taking them with you adds an extra amount of chaos to any activity, they stay home a fair amount.



After A's sister Megan got married a few weeks ago, she moved with her new husband to California. Months ago, N developed such a precious crush on Cam, Megan's then fiancé. And actually, she became quite attached to both of them, following Megan around my in-laws' house, wearing her rather high heels, stealing her lip gloss, and giving her kisses.

After Megan and Cam got married, I tried to explain to N that they would be moving far away. I wondered if her little mind could grasp the concept. Her first question, of course, was, "They come home?" Yes, sweet girl, they'll come back at Christmastime. Luckily, since little kids don't have a great concept of time anyway, it will seem like no time at all to N. And in the meantime, I get to hear N try and say, "California," which always makes me smile.
