Ro was done eating his Spaghetti meat balls, having put away almost an adult portion. I wanted him to finish but he refused. Shortly after he’s asking about dessert.
Ro: Daddy, can I have a chocolate?
me: You haven’t finished your dinner, I thought you were full!?
Ro: Daddy, listen. I have *two* stomachs, one for food and one for dessert. The dessert one is still empty!

Lately, when we’re at home, but not in the same room as Ro, he frequently re-assures himself that we’re still around. He’s found a very heart warming way of doing so. A typical test goes like this:

Ro: Daddy?!?
me: Yes, Ro?
Ro: I love you!!!
