Last night I left Caleb's room at bedtime and after a while he hollered at me. I went back to see what he needed. Here is the conversation:
Caleb: You are precious.
Mommy: You are precious. What does precious mean?
Caleb: It means you love me.
I just loved that. I hugged him and went to read for a while before bed. A long time had passed and I heard him holler for me again. I thought it was odd because I expected him to already be asleep. So I went back to his room and this is the conversation we had:
Mommy: What's wrong?
Caleb (rolling over): My heart is sad.
Mommy: Why is your heart sad?
Caleb: Because Daddy is going on a trip and I will miss him.
Isn't that sweet! I called Daddy, and he came and hugged his boy for a while. We told him I'd miss Daddy too while he's gone, but he'd come home and have lots of pictures to show us of his trip and the airplane and stories to tell about his trip and he'd probably bring us prizes too.
It was a very sweet moment. I know it touched Daddy's heart too that his boy will miss him so much!
