I can bring the sappy parenting posts, sure I can. I am a blogger, after all. But let me share this with you, so we can keep things real around here.
The other day, Mike got off work early and spent most of the afternoon hanging out with Kyle. When I finally got home, we had to jump right in the car and head to a family dinner with many of my in-laws, so I barely got to say hello to Kyle before we were on the road.
Once we were all buckled in and had taken off, I turned around, exhaled, and said, "Hey buds! How was your day? I missed you!" These are things I say to him nearly every single work day. This was the first day he scowled at me and said in response:
"I love Daddy."
Added to my 2013 to-do list: bring up more often all the places I threw up in while pregnant, including that one special place called LABOR.
Don't let his sweet face fool you. Heart breaker, this kid.
