missing Daddy...

Fritz (very loudly-excited) announced to a stranger at the store yesterday that he was wearing a new shirt that his Daddy had gotten for him in Peru.  Wally chimed right in and the talked and talked about their shirts, their new shoes (Fritz' are "running and jumping" shoes, Wally's are "running and climbing" shoes.  Don't get it mixed up.)  This lady got a real kick out of them and was a good sport about the whole thing.  She said she liked the llamas on Walter's shirt.  His response: "OH.  They are not llamas.  They are alpacas.  My daddy went to Peru.  Now he is in Turkey.  Not the animal.  Not the food.  The COUNTRY."  Last night I woke around 3 am to find a body in my bed.  A bit startling.  It was Wally, asleep.  If he had talked to me about it, I don't have any recollection.  This morning he told me "I was sad because of missing Daddy, so I came to cuddle you.  I cuddled you so that you can send the cuddles to Daddy."  Sweetest boys.  Come home safely Daddy.
