Sick

When my son gets sick, he gets very clingy. He has followed me around the last few days with his hands up in the air, begging to be picked up. When I scooped him up, he would just rest his head on my shoulder. I did the best I could to give him the love and cuddles he needed, but after a few days of this it was hard not to get frustrated. Please, play with your trucks for a while.

Then this morning, I woke up feeling terribly sick. My throat hurt, my joints ached, and my head just wanted to stay on the pillow. After a warm cup of tea and a short, but much needed nap during my son's nap, I scooped him up and held his warm little body close to mine and said, "Don't you just want to cuddle all day?"
