Moments

This week has been easy and hard at the same time. The stresslessness of staying home all week (yes we stayed home all week! well except to go to choir and bootcamp) was lovley. Hot dinners had time to be made, laundry found it's way back to the drawers and closets from which it came, and the kitchen stayed clean for at least 5hours this entire week! On the other hand, because my sweet boy has not been outside for 4 days he of course is going stir crazy. And he is tantruming and whiney and miserable (pretty much a male who is sick) And it is TIRING. Let me tell you, taking care of a baby who doesn't so much love solids, and would much rather have her mammas milk thank you very much, and keeping up with the dailies all whilst enduring tantrum, after melt down, after crying fit, is exhausting. So yesterday when I went to put Kýrie down for her afternoon nap (which I do by laying down with her in my big ole comfy bed and nurse her off to dreamland) my sweet boy came in to snuggle. Now it has become kind of a wee thing of ours, me going in to put Kýrie down and Cole coming along and snuggling up to me on the other side. But he wriggles and turns and then starts to talk, eventually gets bored and goes back into the living room to wait for me. But yesterday after the wriggling ceased, and the 30+ minutes of coughing died down, I noticed he had fallen asleep. Now this is rare. This is cherishable. This boy who since the day we set up his big boy bed (20 months of age) never wants to sleep anywhere but HIS bed. So I lay there, piggy in the middle, with my sweet girl in my arms, and my sweet boy nestled into the small of my back, with his little hand draped over my waist, and I thought, savour this, breathe it in, take a photo in the camera of your mind and in the midst of a full blown meltdown, remember this moment. Because this stage is fleeting and as the country song goes."Your going to miss this....."
