A glimpse into the past

I was dead sick today and had to give a workshop in the afternoon in the valley. Andres packed up the kids and drove me, since I was so out of it I never would have made it driving myself. On the way home we stopped at the grocery store and Andres went in to get a few things while the kids and I stayed in the car waiting for him. I was out of it, but suddenly I looked over and saw Nicolas sitting in the driver's seat and drinking from Daddy's water bottle. The look on his face reminded me of when - not all that long ago, really - he used to drink from a bottle. I felt sort of sad, missing my baby, until I realized that in all reality it is just over a year and a few months ago that he quit the bottle. (A little embarrassing for a four-year-old)
