Sugar

If Gabe hurts himself during the day and I'm not giving him the attention he thinks his injury deserves, he'll often call out for his dad in quite pathetic tones. Today in the car he "hurt" is finger. I tried rubbing it, talking him through it, but it was NOT satisfactory. So he started saying, "Sugar. Sugar. Sugar!" in the same tone he typically calls out for Dad. I had called Brian "sugar" this morning as he left for work. Looks like I'll have to start calling Brian "Dad" when Gabe's around.
