"Saturday." I answered as I folded the laundry.
"Is it tomorrow night?" he continued, trying to clarify his question.
"Is what?"
"Is it tomorrow night?"
"No, it's today, tomorrow night is tomorrow night. I don't understand what you are asking."
"Oh." he mumbled, a little disappointed.
"Honey, what is it that you want?" I asked, anxious to get to the heart of the matter.
"I just want to know if it's a special day."
And then it all becomes clear. I should have known, everything special in a kid's life happens "tomorrow", or "tomorrow night". It's all that waiting they have to do. Poor little things!
Here is Sawyer on just a regular ol' day. But let's take a closer look, shall we? Mismatched socks, the notorious toe-hole, his self-proclaimed 'basketball' shorts that he begged me to drag out in the middle of winter because he needed them "to do special jump-rope tricks", and lastly, his homemade race car on it's virgin flight down the stairs. Yep, Sawyer can make any ol' day, tomorrow night.
