did you hear that?

It was the sound of my heart breaking as I walked away from my son in his classroom at day care. 

Henry:  I want you to stay here, mom-mom.
Me:  I know buddy, but I have to go to work and you have to stay here to learn and have fun and make friends.
H:  Oh.  But I don't want to.
M:  I know and I'm sorry.  Always remember birds fly south for the winter.
H: ...
M:  Oh.  Wait.  Always remember squirrels eat NUTS.
H: ... *little smile*
M:  No.  That's not it.  Always remember...
H: (whispering so quietly I could barely hear) mom-mom loves you...

And then he laughed and gave me a giant hug. 

Also, I know I said the next post would have photos and there are no photos here but I am at work and I don't have photos on this computer so you'll just have to wait. 

Also, I start way too many sentences with "also," and I know it is bad bad bad grammar but I can't stop.  I think it's because the running commentary in my head is constantly interrupted and I start most thoughts mid-sentence.  Crazy.  Or as Henry says, "cray."

Bad, mom-mom.  Bad.
