We’ve had a bug going around our house the last week. Yesterday and today are my turn. Ricky’s sweet little heart made several appearances this morning. First, he made me a newspaper to read while I laid in bed. His newspaper included a lot of ads for new dog toys but also had me pictured on the front page. It was me and several other people all wearing triangle birthday hats. Ricky pointed out that I was easy to spot because I was the one with a frown. Surprised, I asked him why I was sad and he told me that it was because I didn’t feel good on my birthday. He earned a hug for that one.
Then a bit later when I came downstairs, Ricky started moving the step stool all around the kitchen. I watched him go to the cupboard and get out a yellow cup while mumbling, “Yellow is her favorite color.” Then to the pantry to get a straw. Then to the freezer for some ice. And last, to the sink where he put an inch of water in the cup. He then brought me the cup and said, “Here’s a drink to make you feel better, Momma.” I love Ricky’s sweet side!
