Sick Soft Cheeks

Sydney has a full blown head cold. I feel for the little man. 2 grapefruits that he happily downed topped with sugar, chicken noodle soup, juice, and yogurt were the only things he wanted to eat today. Not even the chocolate cake I made enticed him. I had given him a warm bubble bath this morning in hopes that the heat would help his sinuses. It didn't but it gave us a few quiet moments together until I had to wash his hair.
Around 3 pm this afternoon he was getting crabby, obviously the sleepies were setting in. I held him in my arms as though he were a baby again. I put my cheek to his baby soft peach face and slightly rubbed my cheek against his. He didn't object. I rocked him for a moment, he sang me the Barney song, then he was gone to his room. I heard him walk into my room. I walked in behind him to see that he had climbed onto my bed and under his Sponge Bob blanket that he carried in there with him. He said," Mommy I'm sleepy come lay down with Sydney".
Thank You Lord for my son, I love him very much.
