We went over to the house again on Saturday. As I've mentioned, the little girl is pretty scared of the house right now. It came out that one of her big concerns is that she is going to fall through the floor into a great abyss. I tried to explain to her that, while a crawl space is not somewhere I want to be, it's not deep and her head would still be above the floor even if she was standing on the floor of the crawl space.
Anyway, Saturday was a nice day so we went over there after the big girl's basket ball game. The little girl did amazingly well. We looked around and talked about the changes. In the bathroom where the tub was, you can actually see through the floor to the crawl space. I shined a flash light in there so the little girl could see just how not deep it was. That made her feel slightly better.
After holding it together to tour the inside, we went out back. The girls decided to put the trampoline to use for the first time since the day of the fire. It was great to hear the little girl laugh so heartily in a place that brings up so much fear right now.
After we left the house, we rewarded ourselves with a trip to starbucks for coffee and chai lattes. Yum!
