Lovely Son

This story is a little long, so I need to explain some background info first. Recently I have a lot of late-night conference calls, so I have very little time with my son before he goes to bed. Most of the time Allie plays with him to distract him, and he became very insecure and often rushes into our room at nights to find Allie.

This morning Allie went to work early. When my son rushed into our room and found that mom was not home, he began to cry out loud in anger and frustration. I talked to him and played with him for about 30 minutes until finally he was cheered up.

Then, I told him that I need to drive my car for maintenance, he begged me to wait until he finished his morning bottle of milk, which I agreed. When I picked up my bag after he finished his milk, he begged to go with me. I said the car was too dangerous until it is repaired, and then I left.

in the evening, he called my cell phone and asked me if my car was repaired already. He asked me to drive home quickly. I said I will try to get home early but I could not drive too fast because there were many cars on the road. He said, "But I miss you so much! Please drive faster!" He is so sweet when he is not angry! I hope these late calls will stop soon.
