Love is a soft toy called Cuddles

Son #2 has been sick all day. He's been quiet, sleepy and a bit tender. He's also been remarkably polite for a two year old, saying sorry each time he's been sick.

He's a bit better this evening.

Love for Son #2 depends on Cuddles being around.

Cuddles #1 was thought lost so I purchased Cuddles #2 and Cuddles #3. Cuddles #1 made a shock return so he now has a Cuddles family.

Cuddles is sometimes lent out to Son #1 who was never inclined to have a cherished toy but seems to be warming to the idea. I don't know which Cuddles is lent out!

Anyway, to love - it's been a wet day so we've been inside a bit. Son #1 was impeccably behaved on a trip to the cafe and apologised for taking so long over his hot chocolate. Son #2 has been clingy all day but I secretly love the fact that he wants our love.

Love for your children is in a special category (marked elation, laughter, pain, worry, pride......)

Mountain biking this morning has left me a tired, slumbering wreck - might explain the emotional gush..
