Matthew moment

This afternoon, Matthew and I were playing a game where he would "go away" and I would "cry" and say how sad I was until he "came back." One leaving episode went like this.

Me: "Matthew's going away and I am going to miss him so much. I will be so sad without my Matthew because I love him better than any other boy in our house."

Matthew: (touches my cheek with a very serious look on his face) "oh, sweetie (a phrase I sometimes use with him)... It's ok. I will come back and when I do, I will bring you a present."

It was all I could do not to burst out laughing. And then, he went upstairs and came back down with a note he had "written" which said how much he loved me. He also brought me his piggy bank. Now if that isn't an "awww" moment, I am not sure what is.
