Poor Nicholas misses Mommy, but he decided to let me know in a most unconventional way. We were at a softball game this evening (I play in a grad student league). Before the game started, people were standing around, and I was holding Nicholas. All of a sudden he starts saying "ah-mee! ah-mee!" and pointing at the other team. At first, I thought he was saying the name of one of his teachers (Miss Emily), but then I realized he was saying "mommy." He was looking, at a distance of fifty feet, at a woman on the other team who bore a passing resemblance to Sarah. Basically a twenty-something woman with red hair in a pony tail.
The poor thing was so excited, and didn't seem to understand why I didn't walk him over, or why "ah-mee" didn't come join us.
Of course, then he got distracted by Alice and her toy bus, so it worked out just fine. But boy, was that odd.
