The common scenario when we leave for the office in the morning:

“See you later Jake. Be ready for school by 10am”, Jerry or I would tell him. And Jake would see us to the door after giving us our kiss.

This morning, I bade him goodbye as I hurriedly tried to carry all of my bags down to the car. Jake just finished taking his shower with Nanny’s help. He quickly ran up to me and said: “Wait Ma, let me kiss your face first…” and proceeded to plant a big wet kiss on my cheek.

How sweet… I drove to work with a smile on my face.

On a typical free day, I would be a couch potato watching E-news or some other local gossip program, Jerry would be reading emails on his Blackberry, Matt would be out with his friends, Kyle would be playing the Playstation2 and Jake would be running around playing with different toys one at a time in intervals of 5 minutes.

One day, we were all busy and left to our own devices when Jake ran up the stairs.

“Jake, where are you going?”, Jerry and I chorused.

“I’m going up…. to check my emails”, Jake replied.

No, he’s not going up to watch tv, not to take his turn with the PS2, not to play with his kiddie toys… He was going to check his emails!

Just where did that come from???
