I miss my bub today. He woke up in the best mood this morning, laughing and being a goof. The whole way to drop E at school, he babbled loudly in his germanesque language, and E pretended to converse with him.

"Gawwlo garkel bgobbo pluguolig mawgog! HEY!"

"Really Colby?? That is so funny!!"

"mowgow gogggog mogog!" laugh, laugh, laugh.

"Oh, I will miss you too, but when we get home, we can play polly pockets!"

"ggerrgger mockobog sallogog moocko"

"You are so silly, Colby."

Then when she got out of the car and headed up the stairs, he shouted after her, "HEY! HEY!!Gallowgog mogok HEY!" I like to think he was telling her to be careful on the playground, and to have fun. And not to forget his popcorn. Fridays are popcorn days at her school, and she always brings Colby some popcorn leftovers. I swear he can smell the bag when she gets off the bus.

Then I had to take him to the fire station and drop him with Marty, who went off duty at 7:30. Colby talked the whole way there, and then squealed with delight when I got him out of the car. He does this thing now where he lays his cheek on my lips repeatedly to receive kisses... but he does not give them. (He is practicing to be royalty.) So we did that for about 5 minutes, and then I handed him to his dad. He gave me the "i can't believe you are going to leave me, i have been so good this morning! don't you love me??" look, and burst into tears. He reached for me over Marty's shoulder, crying his little heart out. And I was already late for work, so there was nothing I could do but get back in the car and drive away, his little sobs ringing in my ears.

And now I have sat at my desk for over an hour, doing nothing, but wishing I were at home with my bubbaroo.
