Aidan and I always spend a few minutes cuddled up on his bed before I kiss him goodnight. We always talk a bit, usually about our days, but he has another favorite topic: it's called let's discuss how many times/days you have gone away without me. Yep. My sweet boy likes to dissect each and every time I had to leave him overnight. This includes a discussion of the length of each time away and the reason. From stolen weekends away to hospital stays to arrange the arrival of his little brothers, Aidan wants to recount each occurrence again... and again.. and again.
The first time he sprang this topic on me, I panicked under the pressure of guilt and told him I was only away for a day or two in the hospital to have Griffin. He shook his head at me and FROM MEMORY told me the number of days I was gone, including the day of the week I left and returned. I think he scares me a little bit.
