For those of you that know my boy you know that he is fearless. And for those of you who don't it's hard to put into words how fearless he is. He is all boy, and very much a Goodwin.
So I am having a hard time understanding what is going on with him since we have been here. If I go in the other room he follows me and says " Mom I want to be with you! I'm scared!". If I close a door and he can't get in he stands in the hall and bangs on it crying "I'm scared I want to be with you." He's been having a hard time sleeping in his bed, saying that he is scared something is going to get him.
I have talked to him trying to let him know that everything is fine. However, he is not convinced. I need to figure out something to help him. I feel bad that he is getting upset but I don't know what the problem is. It never lasts very long. And as soon as he sees me or Mike he is fine. It's just a little strange.
Perhaps I need to work harder on making our home a sanctuary. Well here's hoping I figure it out. I have to admit though that this till feels like some one elses house. Okay so I have to do better before the kids do better. So wish me luck. ;)

Sorry to hear that Connor is having a hard time. It's always heart breaking when kids get scared and have a hard time doing what they love doing because they are afraid of being by themselves.
Has Mike said a blessing on the new home? It helped Joseph feel a little reasured Heavenly Father was protecting him. We also put a picture of Christ in his room.
Say hello to your family for us. We miss you. =(
Each time we move the boys get to take along there special stuffed animal with us....we tell them it is there friend they are taking with them from our old home to our new home. While we are on our move the stuffed animal goes every where with us...car, hotel etc. It may seem silly but it works for us.
How old is he? It may just be that his imagination is kicking in and he is realizing that there are bad things that can happen to him. I had a niece who went through a phase where at about age 4 she couldn't make it through the night in her own room and would come in and sleep at the foot of her parents' bed in the middle of the night. They're not sure what was getting to her. Even she couldn't explain it. But she eventually grew out of it and is just fine now.
Thanks for the support ladies! He is 4. I'm sure he will be over it no time nothing lasts too long with him but I feel bad in the mean time.
Well Lel as you know, Kelley is 4 too, and she is EXACTLY the same way! She won't even go to the bathroom without me near! She sleeps in our bed almost every night. And part of it is probably the move for you, but, I think it's the age as well. I don't have any words of wisdom for you, but I just wanted you to know you are not alone in this! Love ya!
