Griffin

yesterday, 

griffin and i met a friend

here at cafe de flore.

this cafe has been on my "go to" list

since before we moved here.

griff was in rare form 

so we lasted about 20 minutes.

even though it was just a few minutes..

it was such a treat to meet her 

and her husband.

and honestly,

i should have known better i guess.

sitting at a cafe is not fun 

for a 3 year old.

believe me,

i try it on a regular basis.

this move hasn't been easy on griffy.

he still asks if we can go home.

we have a framed photo of the bridge

to our beach back in the states 

that is in our kitchen.

griff asks daily,

"mom, we go there?"

i think it might have been a bit easier on him

if we had our stuff.

familiar surroundings for him.

if this doesn't feel like home yet for me..

it certainly doesn't for my 3 year old.

i have put off potty training,

 moving him to his own room/bed

and preschool.

i'm letting certain behaviors slide a bit.

if we were "back home"

i would be on top of those things now.

but, this is home now

and i think griffin has been through

enough transition already.

i know all of these things

will come in time.

and then i will sit 

for hours and hours 

at a cafe.
