I was carrying my bowl of soup pasta (Jayden's lunch leftovers) to the dining table when I knocked my left foot on one of chair legs.
'Oww shh-' I bit my tongue before I cursed out loud, knowing that both children were within earshot. Hannah stared at me from her high chair for a while, and went back to her biscuit treats. Jayden, however, looked up from the iPad and stared at me questioningly. I was still grimacing from the pain and rubbing my foot.
He came over. 'Mommy, whyy?'
'I hurt my foot just now. Painful.' I winced for further effect.
He looked at my foot, then back at me. Then he started stroking my arm gently, a little smile on his face. 'It's OK, mommy.' he patted my back.
I had to smile. After reassuring him that I was all right, he went back to his iPad. And I'm just glad that despite his love for the iPad, he took the time to come over and comfort me when he saw that I was in pain.
My son loves me. *tears*
