As most of you know, we spent this last week in Hawaii. It was a trip we honestly weren’t sure would even really happen because of my mom and her health, but we made it. Thanks, mom!
Sean has been able to be Sarah on this trip for her first time. It’s been great. The boys have taken to calling her Eema, even Toby. One of Toby’s favorite things to do towards the end of this trip was to say, “Eema, let’s go to the hot tub and talk some more” and they’d be gone for thirty minutes at a time just chatting. I feel like the boys need to reconnect with this “new” person. I purposely stayed behind on these quests because they needed time on their own. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I loved making a butt imprint on my daily chaise. Haha.
But, today, it’s back to reality. Back home. We have our long travel day which started with a 3:30 am wakeup and a 4:15 am taxi.
Will the momentum keep going? Can she comfortably be Sarah like she’s been for the last week? I bet she can. I think this gave her the power she needed to come home and make the switch. I hope so, anyway. We’ve come a long way this week, that’s for sure.
