I've said it before..

And I will say it again. Kids just amaze me of how aware of things they really are. Out of nowhere tonight Matthew looked at me and said. "Mommy, guess what? I saw you crying when we were at the McDonald House."

How long ago was that? 3 months ago, and he just has all of these memories that he just says out of nowhere. I don't prompt him to say anything, he just comes up with it on his own.

I explained to him why he saw me crying. It was the night that Mike brought him up, (the day of Katelynn's surgery.) I hadn't seen Mike since the day after she was born, so I had so many emotions built up from the week I had been there, and then with the extreme emotions from her surgery, it was just intense when I saw Mike for the first time since.
I also told Matthew that I was crying because I had missed him so much, and he said, "When I was at the house, I cried in my room because I missed you." I don't know if that is actually true since I had really just went in depth with him on why people cry, but if that is true, how sad. :( I feel terrible that he cried alone in his room with me being so far away. He is just growing up so fast.

Gosh I love my Little Man. He is so into his emotions at such a young age. I am glad that he is able to be open with me, but sad at the fact that he was so sad himself. Sorry for the melancholy post tonight, it just amazed me that he brought this up tonight. I have to remember that Katelynn's birth didn't just have a huge effect on Mike and I, it had a dramatic effect on Matthew as well. So much, that he talks about it still. Which, is a good thing I suppose. He probably wasn't sure how to say it before, but as he learns how to talk and bring things up, it is easier for him.
