I quickly dried off my hands and rushed through the house out the front door. Sure enough, flopping rather pathetically on the sidewalk in front of our house was a tiny brown bird. Is his wing broken? Leg? My mind flashed through all those cartoons and PSA’s I saw as a child where the adult would show the kids how to make a splint out of popsicle sticks, bandage the bird up until its wing healed, and then set it free.

Today, when I was leaving for work, I knelt down and kissed Sullivan on his head and said “Bye stinker!” then I kissed my wife goodbye and walked towards the door. As I was unlocking the door, I heard Sullivan make a noise and I turned around. He went “Dah!” and was waving his arm.

Sullivan was waving goodbye to me!

As I backed out of the door, I continued to wave back at him, and he continued to wave back at me.

What an adorable little kid.
