It's a GOODe Life: Worms

Welcome to my now regular conversation with my near 3 year old. I think it is finally sinkin' in that Mama now works from home and my Add... well she likes it.

Car in driveway = Mama at home to Miss Add . I do believe the child walks by me 20 times a day to check to see if my car is in the driveway... just to be sure I am not an imaginary friend, I suppose.

Anyhoo, back to Miss Add's car count... this new obsession over Mommy's car also means that when Mama does have to leave for an appointment or meeting with a client, there is a heightened form of the "Mommy don't go" conversation... you know the one... the one where your heart sinks into your shoes...

I have found that in these situations Miss Add calms down when we talk about our plans for when I return. It gives us something to look forward to and she knows Mama's car will soon be back in the driveway.

So when I got home, we gots to playin' and THIS is the face I got:
