a conversation

Watch out old west...

a few days ago...

Hours after Ethan's early rising,

and not so many hours after my not so early rising,

he finds me at the computer.

E: We didn't get to talk. (expressionless)

Me: What do you mean, honey?

Climbing on my lap, blankie in hand, he repeats,

E: We didn't get to talk.

Our early morning snuggle routine comes to mind.

Me: Well, what do you want to talk about?

E: Nothing.

Me: So how is your day going?

E: Good.

A little hug and kiss from me.

E climbs down and runs back to his play.
