We had a sleepover planned for Van last night. He was going to spend the night with Aunty Svea, Finn, Elin and Solvej while Peter was working at the hospital. He was so excited.
Van: "Mom, I want to stay at Finn's house this long" (holds up all ten of his fingers)
Me: "Do you think you'll ever want to come back?"
Van: "I want to stay a long long long long long long long long long long looooooong time."
Me: "But when are you going to come home?"
Van: "After the long time"
But then at 9:48PM, I got the call.
Me: "Hi sweetie"
Van: "I want to come home"
Me: "Ok I'll come right over and get you"
I ran over to pick him up. Svea said he had been doing great they were reading stories, but then they started reading 'Truckery Rhymes" a book we read at home as well, and he just started to cry. She thought it reminded him of home.
Van: "I was missing you mama"
Me: "I was missing you too Van"
And he held my hand all the way home.
