Alamo is going crazy like he usually does first thing in the morning.
"Mama, I think mo man loves you" Van says.

Van sits on the back of the couch and drums on my head. I have a cold and a headache so I tell him to stop. So he tries other things with my head like, 'wiggle your head, wiggle your head. shake your head, shake your head' I yell at him and tell him to stop.
He gets down and looks at me and says, "mama, why are you not happy?"
I tell him my head hurts.
"where?"
I say the whole thing.
"oh" he says, and leans over and smooches my forehead.

Van wakes up from his nap and walks sleepily upstairs with his blanket. He sees me on the couch and comes to snuggle on my lap.
"Medicine" he says pitifully.
"You need medicine? do you feel yucky? what hurts?"
"My tummy hurts. And that's why," he pauses for dramatic effect, then says very seriously, "I need some candy."

I feel so lucky to have him in my life. Love that little man.
