Tonight I got home [late] to the following tableau:
[Sound of small feet running down the hall: poundpoundpoundpoundpound]
"Mommy's home!"
Isaac barreled into me, his hair still wet and smelling sweetly of shampoo. He grinned and began tickling my stomach.
"Ai-yi-yi-yi-yi!" I responded, as ritual demanded.
And then he announced (in the third person, as he is wont to do lately--too much SportsCenter with Daddy, perhaps?):
"Isaac missed Mommy."
[Sharp intake of breath].

Wow. Third person or not, the fact that he voiced the feelings is stupendous. My 47 yr old NT sister (well, as NT as any of us really is, I suppose!) still has trouble voicing her feelings. Opinions are easy; feelings are hard.
Way to go Isaac. And what a lovely way to be greeted from work!
