Settle for a Slow Down

As the mom to an almost three year old, the days of snuggles are few and far between. Even when my sweet, hilarious little man is exhausted to the core, he is in a state of constant motion. He makes me tired just watching him!

Today, however, was a completely different story. My poor little man has caught a bug. His poor little tummy has been hurting and he had a fever. {don't worry, I'm not one of those moms that needs to go into nasty detail and I promise with every fiber of my being that this post will not contain a picture of poop or anymore mention of poop beyond this little aside}This is my first Sunday off work since this summer and while I never wish for my little man to be sick, I am so glad I was able to spend the day looking after him.

You know you're toddler is sick when they will willingly cuddle on the couch almost ALL day long. He had a few bursts of random energy, but we spent most of the day watching Madagascar and the Lorax, Gnomeo and Juliet, Tangled, and reading stories in between. It may not have been an exciting day and I didn't really get to enjoy that extra hour from DST, but I was so thankful to spend the day cuddling my little man when he needed it most.
