Oh, you're my favorite awkward statement...

"You look too young to have a 7-year-old!"

Yeah, people, I am...

I Just Called to Say "I Love You"

So I'm back to working ridiculously early and long hours (and so far it's been awesome, so don't think I'm complaining...), but I was a bit worried about E, since in the last year he's been very vocal about how much he hates it when I leave the house before he's woken up in the morning.  But another new intern (who happens to have much younger children than mine, and I'm sure they all have a much harder time than E and I do) mentioned to me that she had a bought a voice recorder for her sons, and that she leaves a message for them every morning before she goes.

So I did just that, and even though it's only been two days since I've been back to work (as it is...), my son treasures those two 15-second messages that I've left.  Today, I came upon him playing them back to himself, cradling the recorder against his chest like a cherished possession. It's worth every penny to me, for him to wake up in the morning and know that I'm thinking about him.

So thank you, Intern Friend, for your priceless suggestion.  My son and I are grateful.
