Today or Tomorrow

The other day I had to leave to go somewhere. Philip started freaking out so I explained that I would only be gone a little while and would be back soon.

So he asked me if I would be back "tomorrow."

He was better after I told him I would be back later TODAY.

Poor Lil Dude ~ he's never going to forgive me for leaving him for those 5 days when we went to Texas.

The Evil Twin

I've been trapped all night at the stove making candy. Which, obviously, is the perfect opportunity for a small boy to regale me with his stories.

Tonight, the story was all about "The Meanie Philip." This would be Philip's evil twin.

The Meanie Philip broke Phil's instructions. Yep. He did. They were instructions for building things.

The Meanie Philip is the one who flooded my bathroom this afternoon. From the sink. The sink with no plug. Apparently, the Meanie Philip is very clever.

Finally, I sent Phil to ask his father to give him a shower. He came back all upset saying, "Daddy doesn't want to clean me."

I told him I was sure Daddy would give him a shower, and Philip said, "But Philip's need cleaned."

Ain't that the truth.

I Missed Mom

My baby missed me while I was gone. I know because he won't let me out of his sight. At least, not without a fit.

Of course, he still has fits even when I'm around. Even more than usual. I think he's scared I'm going to run off and leave him again.

It's kind of sweet. But it's also really exhausting. Probably because I haven't had a chance to really sit down and relax yet since being home.
