Sweet Little Boy

This past week has been a crazy week in that I have to be at work early or stay late almost every day. Monday was my late day. Tuesday morning I went to work at 7:30 AM and didn't get to see Jonathan in the morning. Then Tuesday night we had a provider meeting and I didn't get home until 9 PM. By then he was almost asleep. He sensed my return and woke up. He asked me to sleep beside him. I don't normally do this but felt quite guilty at that moment. So I laid down beside him. He wasn't sure how long I was staying and kept looking at me. I asked him to close his eyes to sleep. He finally asked:"你陪我？" I said, "yes. 妈妈陪你。" He put his arm around my neck and his face against my face and thanked me profusely with the sweetest smile:"Thank you thank you thank you Mama." It melt my heart. I knew I would stay until he fell asleep.
