So I stayed home from work yesterday cause I was sick with the virus that ate my family - barfed, the whole bit.

Later in the afternoon, Josh came in, compared two water glasses that were sitting there side by side, and he pointed to each in turn, saying "mommy", "daddy"...cause one was bigger than the other.

Later, he brought me a magazine with a picture of a glamorous, pretty and much younger woman, pointed to it and said, like three times "mommy!". Then he goes, "reawwy, reawwy cute!"

The other day he wrapped his little arms as tight as he could around my LEG and goes “reawwy reawwy CUTE!”

So, what a compliment, eh? I mean, my son thinks I’m cute enough to keep telling me.

When I was sick he brought me my water, covered me with a blanket, patted my arm, my hair and cheek, and then said, eyes wide open like delivering some surprising news “bye bye – soon!” Soon is “see you soon” abbreviated. Then he carefully closed the door behind him.
