Sad

Talk about sad! I went in the boys' room a bit ago to ask Aaron to quiet his singing down and let Alex sleep, only to find Alex laying in bed crying. :( He was very difficult today after getting home from school, so I was wondering what was going on. He said, "Mommy, I'm crying in my bed." I asked him why and he said, "I miss my friends, Ethan and Faith and Emily and Zachary and Joshua and my old class." I just layed in bed with him and he cried and said he wanted to go back to Mammoth to see everyone. I felt so terrible. That's the first time he has had any kind of sad emotion since we arrived here. I don't know if something at school triggered it and made him want to go back, or if missing everyone was what made him so grouchy today. Either way, he said he wants to talk to his cousins tomorrow, ALL of them. That sure made me want to book a flight for him. He has a 4-day weekend, ya know???
