Fish and chips

Thanks to a dinner of greasy fish and chips, I had a stomach ache tonight. As I was moaning and groaning about my gas pains, Isaac asked, "Will you still be able to take care of your child?"

He didn't seem concerned -- just curious. Naturally I assured him that nothing would prevent me from taking care of him.

This isn't the first time he has remarked on his own need for care, though. Sometimes when I just announce I'm leaving the room for a moment, he asks, "Who will keep an eye on Isaac?" Again, he doesn't seem worried -- he just wants to know what the situation will be.

He's not insecure or nervous about it. But is it normal for an almost-three-year-old to be so aware that adults are always watching out for him?
