Where’d Mommy Go?

Often I don’t get to see the boys before I go to work in the morning. We all go to bed at 11 p.m. or later and they are often still sleeping when I leave to catch my bus in the morning. Last night was really bad. We didn’t get any of the boys to sleep until after midnight. But, Jude surprised me by waking up before I left. He was so happy to get some hugs and have me turn on some French TV for him (yes, he’s mastered German enough that now he’s learning French). Then when Andy woke up after I left, he took a line from Jude and asked in a concerned voice, “Where’d Mommy go?” Jude said, “I got to see her.” Then Andy, still pretending to be Jude said again with a whiney voice, “Where’d Mommy go?” Jude had a gleeful look on his face (since he saw me and Andy didn’t) and yelled out, “Work!”
