Saturday I took Sebastian to Coffee & Cream for breakfast. It went very well (he's usually very good when it's just him and me). At one point, though, the waitress said something like "What can I get for you and your son?" and then suddenly stopped and revised it to "I mean, you and your child?"
"My son, actually!" I said, automatically. It looks like people are still thinking I might be Sebastian's grandfather.
One of these days after I lose a lot of weight I'm going to shave off this greying beard. I suspect that people won't recognize me.
Later on Saturday I took Sebastian to the candy store. I was surprised at how well he behaved; he was interested and excited, but he acted just like a little grown-up.
"Stay with me, Dad." I can't really convey how mature he sounded. I was so proud of him.
This morning, Sebastian came over to our bed.
"Are you working today, Daddy?"
"Yes, baby boy, I have to."
"I want to whisper something to you."
"Okay."
[whispering] "I want you to pretend that you're sick and stay home with me."
He's been whispering in my ear a lot. It's an incredibly funny feeling.
