We said goodbye to Jacob and Oliver in the morning. We had thought a lot about how to tell Jacob what was happening and when to tell him. Ultimately, he doesn’t really understand time or distance very well yet, and we know that he worries about the unknown. So although he knew about the visit to Indiana for awhile, he didn’t know that Terah and I would be going somewhere until th emorning. He wasn’t pleased, but seemed to take it well. We told him that “we’re going to a hotel in Germany” and reminded him of other times we’ve gone to a hotel. I also reminded him that sometimes a babysitter comes to our house while Terah and I go somewhere else, but we always come back later. That seemed to help. [...] [...] Yesterday was a day of travel.
