homesick

Maddox had one day this week where, for whatever reason, he didn't want to go to school. Believe it or not this is the FIRST time in the entire school year (including the first day of school) that he's ever said "I don't wanna go..." While we were in the car, in line to drop him off, Maddox clung to my arm and began whining, almost tearing up. I don't know where it came from and while I was a bit worried that this might go really bad I have to admit that I was also a bit happy. Not happy that Maddox was sad, of course, but just "mommy happy" that he didn't want to leave me, that he would rather stay home then go to school. Anyway, I ended up bribing him with Chick-Fil-A for lunch and he hopped out of the car with no problem! Overall, I was glad that he went to school but it still melted my heart that he wanted to stay with mom!
