There's nothing like being sick to make one long for mama. That certainly was the case today for Nico. He woke up this morning feeling especially warm. Then just as we were changing his diaper, he vomited. Luckily for us, Nico was already in the bathroom. Mike had the presence of mind to guide him to the toilet so there was minimal mess involved.
Although he did manage to eat some breakfast, Nico spent the rest of the day snuggling in my lap and snoozing for long stretches. It's so hard to explain to a toddler that his body is fighting an infection but that eventually, he will feel better. All I could do was hold him close, rub his back and try to make him feel as comfortable as possible.
It was nice in a way to have this day to cuddle with Nico as I did when he was a baby. Now that he's an active toddler, these moments are few and far between so I treasure each opportunity to hold him close.
