Today I have been thinking about the past few weeks.  How filled with emotion they were.

I realized something about myself which may help me understand these kids a little bit more.  I, too, just turn off the emotion when I don't feel like dealing with it.

Since Friday morning I haven't really thought about Older Boy leaving my house.  I certainly haven't taken any time to process the move.  I just moved on.

I wonder if in some ways I deal with emotion the same way these boys do...pretend it doesn't exist.
