Yesterday we had a snow day - middle Tennessee actually got 4 inches of snow! (This happens next to never.) Being a homebody, Jake was thrilled at the idea of a whole day of just me and him at home.
I woke up at 6 a.m. to check on road conditions before deciding not to go to work, puttered around and did a few things, then went back to bed to enjoy my snow day. Jake got up around 9 and went downstairs to play Legos. Suddenly he was in front of me holding a plate.
"You didn't get up, so I thought I'd bring you food," he said, holding a plate of Eggo waffles with syrup.
This is single-handedly the cutest thing he has done in a long time. It rarely occurs to Jake that I might have feelings like hunger, thirst, exhaustion, etc - I very often have to explain to him things like "I just got home from work and haven't had anything to eat for 6 hours, so I can't help you assemble a Lego set right now." And his response is usually a blank stare or to try harder to convince me.
I'm not sure if he got the idea of bringing breakfast to mom in bed from a T.V. show or he just really wanted to share, but it was adorable.
