Oh yes!  My Dad just reminded me of the story I couldn't remember!!  Excellent!

The day after mom took Owen to the circus I noticed he had these bright red spots on his cheeks.  I noticed them right after he woke up from his nap and I thought he was flushed from being really hot while he slept (...this boy will NOT put on a shortsleeved shirt.  He will NOT wear shorts.  He will NOT wear sandals.  He will ONLY use his heavy winter blanket.  I work on trying to transition him to a new season every day but he will not be moved.  Maybe a week in Texas coming up will break his wintry spirit.)  It turns out that my mom accidentally scrubbed cotton candy off of his pink-covered little mug with an antibacterial wipe, rather than just a normal baby wipe.  Maybe the oils got rubbed out of his skin and left him chafed.  Anyway.  Before we figured out what caused it I was talking to him at bedtime:

Me:  You have some red cheeks today!  Maybe you got a little too hot at naptime.  How about we try a short sleeved shirt tomorrow so you don't get so hot!
Owen:  You [I] don't LIKE up sleeves!  You only like DOWN sleeves.  ALL the way down to your hands!
Me:  But you were so sweaty when you were sleeping today!  I don't want you to get red skin.
Owen:  My cheeks are tight and red.  I am getting bigger and bigger!  My skin is too tight!  When I'm growing into a Daddy my skin is getting small and tight!  I'm getting to be a big Daddy!

That one got me to giggling and melted me at the same time.
