When All the Siblings Are Gone...

Sawyer is the only kid at home today, and he's milking it for all it's worth. Since his siblings all got to go to a sleep-over at the Velitchcov's house, Sawyer got a few treats of his own. A few.

"Would you like to go pick out a movie and get a treat at the treat store?" I ask.

"I know," he answers, " I can get two movies, and a game, and then go see a movie at the movie place, and get a treat there. That would be a good idea!"

"What about a pony, and a trampoline, and a pool?" I add.

He just looks up with a shy smile. Little munchkin. And now he's asking for help with something he confiscated from the freezer.

"What's that?" I ask him.

"It's the ice cream I said I was going to have, remember?" he says matter-of-factly.
