My Little Prince

I just started unlocking the gate when I was welcomed with an enthusiastic "Gugu! you are back! Yoohoo!" followed by a little song and dance and prancing around.

I can't help but smile. Kieran made my coming home almost a celebratory event. He then went back to the living room, lay on his stomach and continued copying the images of the beaded figures - car, monkey, dragonfly, soft drinks - onto pieces of heart-shaped paper.

He thought his daddy made the beaded figures. He wrote on the heart-shaped pieces of paper "100% made by Adrian". I told him, no, gugu made them when I was young. He looked a little confused and a little embarrassed, then continued with what he was doing anyway. He said he wanted to give them to his daddy.

And I thought to myself, some people you love not only because of how loveable they are, but also how loveable they are in the way they love you.
