I've been missing my grandson.
Since his mom has been on and off looking for a new job, my hubby and I haven't seen the little one as much as when his mom had a full time job. We got used to seeing him watching cartoons on his portable DVD player and playing with his toys and running around the house or riding his bike inside the house, that without him is something hard to get used to. I remember that he'd run to the kitchen and then to the pantry to check what he can eat. He is so familiar with our house that he knows every nook and cranny. He learned to used the potty in the house and he has a preferred bathroom to use... the master bathroom! 
He enjoyed taking a bath in our master bathtub because the room has natural lighting coming from the outside. So he felt safe. I miss those times. Although, it takes a lot of our time to take care of him, we really enjoyed being around him and we doted on him. He shared many new discoveries with us and I am glad I took a lot of photos of him and videos while we spent those times with him. He is turning four soon and would start preschool next month, so we know that it would not be a full time babysitting anymore. But the abrupt change of our everyday schedule somehow made the house seems lacking of a little voice who made the days fun.
I have to organize this week the corner where he has his toys and put some of them away and organize the pantry and the areas in the house to make it easier to adjust with this change. My mother in law is planning to visit with us in October, so maybe it's the right time to spruce up the house and keep us busy at the same time.
This could also be a start of something new for us to explore. We have been our grandson's caregiver since spring of 2006 that our own interests have taken a back seat. It could be a start of what God has in store for us since we relocated.
It's a new day and now that I am able to write how I feel about this change, it also opened my mind to new things to look forward to.
