Adam was being a sweetheart this morning and letting me sleep in. In my house of loud, rambunctious boys, the only way to accomplish this is to banish them to their room until Sleeping Beauty awakens. Adam was playing a video game in the living room and the boys had been playing altogether in the big boys' room. Hawkins emerged and was crying profusely.
Adam: Hawk, what's wrong?
Hawkins: <still balling his eyes out> Where's Mommy?
Adam: Shh. Shh. It's okay. Mommy is sleeping right now. What do you need?
Hawkins: I need Mommy!
Adam: Baby, she's in bed. What do you need?
Hawkins: <still crying> I need a drink!!
Adam: <laughingly> I can get you a drink!
And instantly, his entire demeanor changed. He immediately quit crying and began grinning ear to ear.
Proof positive that the kids do not view Adam as any form of caretaker or provider, although we really don't know why.
