"But mama me wan it!"
I looked down at Kiyan who was pulling on my pant leg.
He was begging for another pudding cup after having one after his lunch.
"And mama said no Kiyan! You can't eat too much of it before nap time.. lord only knows the mess you'll make after having too many of them."
"Mamaaaaaaaaa."
He began to shed crocodile tears and wail.
"Oh keep it up! You'll tire yourself out and make it easier for mama to put you to sleep."
He followed me around like a little duckling while pleading for another pudding.
After I've been standing in the same place for twenty minutes, I look down to see Kiyan asleep with his head against my calf.
"I knew you'd tire yourself out."
I picked him up and carried him to his bedroom and laid him in his bed.
As soon as I closed the door, I heard the front door open.
"I'm home!"
I cringed as I hoped he wouldn't wake up.
"Where's my-"
"He is sleeping and i need a real so please Mommy, just cuddles before he wakes up!"
She smiled softly and staunted over, engulfing me in a bear hug as she kissed all over my face.
A little conversation before a little make out and was gonna progress further when...
"MOM!"
Kiyan ran in and jumped on us and showered mommy with kisses while I fixed my hair and T-shirt.
"Oh goodness! My big baby boy! How are you?"
Mommy watched him in awe as his vocabulary grows strong everyday, now pronouncing full sentences and finally expressing himself.
Kiyan has been perfect, aside from the occasional temper tantrums.
"And mama eat pudding me!"
"And mama ate pudding with you?"
He nodded.
"Yeah!"
"Well was it a fun day?"
"Yeah!"
"That's great buddy. How about you go get some toys so me and you can play while mommy gets some rest?"
"Okay mom."
He jetted into his room and allowed his mom to kiss me one last time before lightly smacking my thigh as Ms Sandy came in with a glass of white wine and let me relax.
