So today coming home from Cedar Point caydon was sad and having a bad day. It was minor stuff but in his heart it was major thing that he wanted that he was not getting. On the way home I just had a heart to heart conversation with him about being happy for what you do have rather than sad for what you do not have. For instance I explained to him we may not have a large house but we have the ability to have a house. I explained him that he may not have a huge backyard but he has the best house location in all of Amherst ...and that we had an awesome time having the kids over watching the football game and eating pizza yesterday. I explained to him thats a lot of people we know are still living in apartments and we are blessed to even have a house... It seemed like in one ear and out the other type of conversation.... So I took it deeper. I explained to him like this... We may not have meow anymore, but if it was not for her leaving, Isa never would have ended up with us. I explained that though I miss that cat another door opened as one shut. I explained to him we may not have the closest of family but we do have red grandma who would do anything for him.... And I went on to say be happy for what you have and not sad for what you dont have.. I then gave the example of our life....we might have a small family but we have the best family. I went on to say that there is a lot in my life that I am lacking, but look how blessed I am to have a son like you Caydon.. All of a sudden I look over and he has tears streaking down his face. I asked him why he is crying and he tells me it is because he is happy because of all the good things we have..... And all the good things I told him about him.....This just give me a proud momma moment. I could really tell that he fully grasp what I was trying to tell him.
