the suitcase.....

A few nights ago Bennett broke something off the desk chair in our front living room. It is not actually broken but the piece did come off. Shortly afterward, Charleigh came to find me in the other room to let me know what her brother had done.



Like any good mother I told her that Bennett would of course have to move out of our home. I mean, really, we had no other options.



"Okay," she said. And that was that. She went back into the other room and told brother of his fate.



A short time later he was crying and when I mentioned that I didn't know why, Charleigh's reply?




"Maybe he's sad that he has to move out. I even got his suitcase ready."


And she had. And placed it right by the front door.



She had packed it quite well too. The contents? A diaper, socks, pajamas, a sweatshirt, a beanie, jeans, and a shirt.




As you can see, Bennett was very concerned by the threat of being sent to live elsewhere.


Curious about where he was going? To TeeTee's (my cousin's) of course.


"But only for one day to think about what he did."

This CRACKS me up. Mostly because everything Charleigh says cracks me up. I love that girl and seriously miss having her in my Sunday school class. :(

And look how big baby boy is getting! Such a doll.
