The big house

I've been trying to teach Quinn the difference between my house and Tony's... because recently he has begun saying " mommy I want to go home" all though that kind of tugs at my heart strings... I realize to him that is the only place he knows as home... He has a yard there and a dog. So he misses it... But I still want him to understand he has two homes, one with mommy and one with daddy.. I've been saying this in many ways... like: daddy's house vrs Mommy's house, Apartment vrs house, Sadies house "his dog" vrs Molly's house "his cat" ... and each time I tell him "they are both yours, you have two houses".

Tony came by to pick him up today and we went through the explanation of houses again... finally he says " I have two houses"... YES, HE GET'S IT... so I'm kissing him goodbye, as he leaves he waves to me and says "I go to da BIG house" ... Tony cracks up laughing... I realize... why didn't I explain it to him THAT way. Smart cookie he is! (aside from the jail house reference, that would not be smart.. that would be scary :-) )
