On the way to Urgent Care on Ignacio's birthday it was just him and I in the car. After a day of ear pulling, crying and laying listless on the couch I thought we should take him in. His little brown eyes gazed out the window, fighting the sleep that so badly wanted them closed. The following is the coversation that we had...

Ignacio: Girls can be princesses?
Me: Yes, honey
Ignacio: Boys can be princes?
Me: Yes, my love
Ignacio: I'm a prince.
Me: You are?!!
Ignacio: You are a princess mommy.
Me: I am?!!
Ignacio: Do penguins fly?
Me: I don't think so.
Ignacio: What do worms eat?
Me: Food.
Ignacio: Oh.

After determining we were royalty we arrived. We were at the clinic right down the road from the hospital where, three years prior, I held him the exact same way I did at Urgent Care as we waited for the doctor to check him. To top it all off he wore his cowboy boots on the wrong feet.
