monkey hug

I was preparing breakfast in the kitchen when RC said, "I think RK is crying." I went upstairs and of course he was.

Mom: Why are you crying?
RK: Because you didn't call me.
I already woke him up 10 minutes ago and as usual I said that I'd come back to get him.
Mom: I was still preparing breakfast. I was gonna call you. You want to come down now?
RK: Yeah.
So I carried him, he hugged my neck with his arms and circled his legs around my waist. I call this the monkey hug. I don't even have to hold him and he won't fall.

Rain and wet snow. RK came home in the afternoon, his socks soaking wet. I made instant noodle soup for snacks.
