work mode

I have been on vacation for a month and BoyKulit has me all to himself, following his every whim. serving him hand and foot. Then 2 weeks ago, I told him that M has to go back to work and it was a big "NO!" Every night I will tell him that I have to go back to work soon ...

M: Babe, I have to go back to work soon...
BK: NO! I don't like Mommy go back to work
M: what will Mommy do?
BK: Mommy stay here at home with me
M: I need to work so we can have money to buy your toys and buy food
BK: Daddy go to work, Mommy stay here!

Everyday it was like this, he would always reason that I have to stay home with him. But I know he understands, it's just that he's so used to me staying at home all the time again.

Last week, I went back to work and I missed BoyKulit terribly. Someone played Jack Johnson's Better Together and I almost cried :( it was one of our quiet time songs.

The other day, as I was driving home from work, I passed by a vendor selling Helium character balloons. I bought him a Doraemon balloon. BK was so happy that, that night as I was getting ready for work, he asked:

BK: Mommy go to work?
M: Yup
BK: Ok, buy me train ha?

LOL.
