Lately, Little Miss has been climbing into our window seat when my husband leaves for work, opening the window, and yelling, “bye daddy! I love you so much!” It is so incredibly sweet and endearing. But then one day she had something to add to her declaration of love. “Where is your work?” She shouted. “Is it over there?” And she pointed down the street.
