Whispers

I got home earlier than originally planned from work this evening. Didn't expect to be home before Declan's bedtime but I got out just after 6pm and arrived just as Declan was finishing his bath. Unknown to me as I got home and put my things down and took off my boots, there were whispers from upstairs. 

Daddy whispers "I think Mommy's home."

Declan whispers "Mommy's home?"

Daddy so quiet "yes Mommy's home."

Declan in a little voice but still so much enthusiasm "pull the plug, get out."

So Declan pulled the plug and Daddy lifted him out of the bathtub. Daddy was drying to wrap a towel around him as I climbed the stairs. Declan saw me and started yelling "Mommy! Mommy!"

A little naked Declan rushed to hug me before I threw aside any other priorities to dry and dress my little guy.

Such a sweet welcome and so nice to have that short but of time with him before bed.
