A Weekend Without Eagle

Eagle is transitioning out so we have had 3 full days without him. His loud self will be back tomorrow. It has been soooooo quiet the past three days. Eagle is a yeller when he's happy and a screamer when he's not. He does not know not to interrupt and he's in that phase that I remember Sunshine going through where he repeats himself over and over until you give him the response he wants.

Example:
Mommy, big truck.
Oh, you see a big truck?
No. Mommy, big truck.
There's a truck over there?
No. Mommy, big truck....

And the guessing continues.

The sound out of Eagle's mouth is NON-STOP.

But we miss Eagle for sure. The kids have been wondering aloud what he is doing right now and then guessing. Chickadee has been sitting in his carseat so "it won't be empty". Speed, in his little OCD way, is already ticking off things we have to be sure we send with Eagle when he leaves for good. Tomorrow, we will go fetch our friend and the noise in the house will, once again, be off the charts.
