Just Call Me "Dimples"

Today I splurged and took the kids to a local water park. Chris forgot to take his medicine (which can happen when Dad is in charge of morning routine ...), and so was in rare form as we stood in line for our hot pretzel treat.

Finally, when I had enough of him bouncing off the walls and irritating innocent bystanders, I gently cupped his face in my hands and said, "Christopher, when you smile like that, I can see your dimples!"

"What's that? Dimples?"

"It's the little holes in your cheeks on either side of your smile. They're adorable."

"Gee, mom. You've got little holes like that ALL OVER ... and not just when you smile! So you're adorable, too!"

*sigh* "Thanks, dear."
