Doughnuts for Dad...

Brennan is 5. Although he is a big boy, there are a lot of concepts he doesn't understand. The kids' dad moved to Arizona in August. He was just back to Illinois for a visit and the kids are missing him tremendously. We went grocery shopping this afternoon and Brennan asked if he could have a doughnut. So, all of the kids picked out doughnuts...we finished our shopping and we came home. When we got home Brennan broke his doughnut in half. His sister asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm saving this one for dad." He wrapped up half of his doughnut and put it back in the bag. lol Sissy said, "Buddy, daddy isn't probably going to be back until the summer. It will be old by then." Brennan stood by his little statement and was adamant he was saving this doughnut for his dad. His sisters wouldn't drop the issue until Brennan finally ate the other half of the doughnut. I had to pick him up in my arms and kiss his little face all over. I have the sweetest, most thoughtful boy in the world.
