"No, Daddy's upstairs"

This time of year is really busy and stressful for Leonard. He has his year end close and tons of audits and planning of some sort to be done all in a very short 3 week time span. He's been sick and working a lot of hours. This weekend he has been working at home almost non-stop.

Last week, we had Leonard's winter shut down and he was home on "vacation" with us playing non-stop. Well Leonard is Leo's best friend. He absolutely adores his Daddy.

Last night, while Leonard worked, we played and played while I tried to keep him out of Daddy's hair. I had used all of my tricks to distract him and he was still asking, "Mommy where's Daddy?" I knew it was just a matter of time. It finally all boiled down to this,

Leo: "Mommy, Where's Daddy?"
Me: "He's not here"
Leo: "Mommy, where's my Daddy?"
Me: "He's not here, he's at work"
Leo (with one little finger raised): "No! He's upstairs"

Upon which he immediately turned and darted for the stairs yelling for his Daddy. He was fast. I caught up to him when he was already half way up the stairs. Daddy then had to take a 15 minute break before returning to work.

Remind me again, why I was so concerned about his speech?

Hahaha, that is too funny. When did his speech really take off? We're still not there :/ Although I feel like we're close???

You got a SMART kid there! They're so much more perceptive than we realize sometimes. You better get some roller skates to put next to your jogging shoes. hahaha.
