Sick lil' Boy

Oliver got a cold yesterday and is pretty pathetic sicky. He's been happy while awake, but sleeping is hard since he's coughing and can't use his Nuk all that well with a stuffed nose. Last night I just got him up and he sat with me, looking right into my eyes, touching my hair, smiling under his runny nose and being still. He couldn't let himself sleep despite being so tired, but he did let himself rest in my arms. He eventually went and climbed into one of his toy boxes and sat there for a long while too, equally still and inquisitive. I love being a Mom.
