It's been a long 6 days recovering from an unexpected surgery - especially not being able to pick up Elijah Brooks (naptime and bedtime have been especially difficult for both of us). He really has done so well for the past few days and has just gone with the flow - until today. Today was a hard day. I think he is pretty much over his mommy not being able to take care of him like he is used to. We attempted to go to church tonight, thinking he would enjoy getting out of the house and going to his class. It didn't go so well, so we left and came home early. On the way home he was unusually quiet, until I heard him say this, "I forgive mommy's tummy", as if to say that the boo boo's on my tummy have somehow hurt him or made him sad.
That simple statement was so profound, and gave me great insight into what he is feeling.
Here's hoping tomorrow is a better day.

Surgery, Erin???? I hope you are all right and recovering well. I enjoyed your post on fostering children. . . a lot of food for thought. Hope you all are well.
