back on track

Moo is back in action after 6 days of constant grizzles related to illness and teeth! Oh hooray, hooray, he is such a cool little kitty cat. I guess these illnesses are just part of being a kid and being in daycare where they like to share these things around...it is great to have my Mum here even though already it feels like time is going too fast. This past week has been a huge test of patience and strength as it is the most sick he has been in his 18mths of life. I guess the first time is always the hardest. The first tantrum was also just awful but that gut wrenching feeling in the stomach seemed to be absent this weekend when he rolled around the floor screaming in the toys section of the department store. It stopped as soon as it started and not 2 minutes after it was another Mum's turn...kind of comforting in a weird way. These hard days are certainly rewarded by the kinds of smiles above, cuddles and gentle touches, eye contact and interactions. It makes every moment of tired, frustrated, angry, relentless questioning totally worthwhile.
