"No. I just want to pray."

He had a good day at school so I took him for a small snack and a walk around the toy store. 

He was excited about today, they wore the color of the animal in the story they wrote. For him, it was pigeon, so he was in all gray. At school, they made hats to match. 

We shared some noodles Ah-ma made and he seemed so pouty over dinner. After we did our bed time routine, devotion time, and prayer, I asked him how he's feeling. He said with a pout and his head down, "I'm sad. I want to go home, I miss our house."
It made me sad. So am I, and so do I! Yes, yes, and yes to all of it too. Trying to keep it together and make things as normal and routine as possible. I'm sure he misses his room, cooking and baking in our kitchen, eating dinner at our table, having his play area and all his toys, so many things we all miss. He's even asked to go swimming despite it being chilly (for here, anyway). I asked him if there's anything we can do to make things less sad for him while we're here. He said, "No. I just want to pray."
So I prayed for us about making the most of spending time with Ah-ma, keeping our house safe, blessing everyone that's working on it, that it will go smoothly...
I hope it's not effecting him too much. I try to remind myself that this is all just temporary. I want him to be more himself again.
