we had a very slooooooow day today. the meds i've been put on make me pretty dopey. i could not for the life of me stay awake this morning. thankfully hunter and his daddy are best buds so they just hung out and let me sleep off the medication.
hunter was in such a fun mood again today. we did lots of playing and singing and reading. i am just treasuring these days with him. soon he will be all grown up and not want to have anything to do with his mama.
the sweetest thing happened tonight - it was one of those things that makes me say "I'M REALLY A MAMA NOW." Hunter got fussy. like REALLY fussy. this is unusual for him. he' so easygoing and really easy to calm when he does cry. usually he's hungry or tired. twice today he got into the fussy zone where he just did not want to calm down. denis had him and was doing all the right things, but he still would not settle. he was changed, fed, burped, cozy...what else could it be?
i finally told d to just give him to me. he lay him beside me, hunter snuggled in and immediately closed his eyes and fell asleep. he just needed his mama. is that not the best feeling in the world?
i have babysat for SO MANY years and all those years of babysitting or being around kids and babies i would always want to be able to calm them, but sometimes they just needed their mamas. i love being the "special person" who my little man looks to to calm.
and just because no post is complete without a picture, here is hunter snuggled up with his friend zazu and taking a nap today! when he woke up this morning with a big smile i teased him that there was a lineup of girls waiting outside for his autograph and with marriage proposals and that we had to hide from the paparazzi after his tv appearance last night!
night lovelies
ahhhh he just needed his Mama :) :) :) Healing hugs
