A conversation I had with Tate tonight as I was rocking him (which I don't usually do!) and snuggling before bed...
Tate: Mommy, I am so sad and cried.
Me: Why Tate?
Tate: Mommy, you stay home, you don't go bye bye anymore.
Me: I am so sorry Tate! I missed you so much and love you so much!
Tate: I miss you too Mommy, you leave me and go bye bye. You stay home so I am so happy.
Me: Tate, I will always come back if I go bye bye. I love you so much!
Tate: I love you so much too Mommy. I am so sad when you go bye bye. Mommy, you stay at home and no more go bye bye.
Me: Okay, Tate, I won't go bye bye again for a while.
He was genuinely upset and seemed worried that I was going to leave again. I am not kidding, it seriously broke my heart. Ugh. It makes me just feel awful that I was even excited to get away when I went to Florida. Oh my goodness, it was so amazing loving up on him today. He was so sweet and did not want me out of his sight! I feel awful that he might be worried that I would leave again. He is just so extremely sensitive and this is by far the longest I have ever been away from him. I love him so much!

Glad you got home as scheduled rather than today... :) Sounds like Tate is happy too! :) Missed you but we got to love up on the kids during last evening. Boone is such a love bug :) Bode such a sweet adoring big brother and giggled at Boone as he sqirmed and wiggled in his new chair at the table... seat that converts to upright as he gets bigger! He was making faces and Bode got a kick out of it. After supper bode showed papa all his newest swim tricks and was a hoot! Tonight they are joining us for the festivities of Cinco de Mayo at Mi Pueblo... hope it's not too hot for Boone. : )
