Lonely

On Sunday, Amelia went to stay with her grandparents for a few days. There were multiple reasons for this. First of all, she is awesome so they have been begging us to let it happen. Secondly, aside from us, they have spent the most time caring for her - bath time, bed time, giving her meds, etc. so she is comfortable there. Lastly, with Everett being sick again, we are trying to separate the two of them to break the cycle of them trading illnesses. This being the first time she's been away from us, we weren't sure how we'd feel about it. With no surprise, we have had mixed emotions. It is very nice to have quite a bit more free time and even more quiet time. That said, when you take Amelia out of the house, you take 25% of the people and 75% of the energy.  On the flip side, any concerns for how Amelia would feel about it were alleviated when she was so excited to see them she essentially didn't even tell me goodbye. As a matter of fact, after speaking to her tonight, I'm pretty concerned she's never going to want to come home...and we'll have to change that because I miss my buddy.
