Quiet

Sorry if you've been hearing crickets chirping from my side of the blogosphere. Little man got sick again. He's seriously been sick more in the last few weeks than he has in his whole life. Yep, his whooooole life. :) First it was a cold that turned into an ear infection. Then we went 10 days later for a well check (after he was all better). And I'm pretty sure he caught something while he was there. Or at least not long after. Either way, he's been battling with this cold/cough thing for the last week. Yesterday morning, he woke up at 7am (after going to bed around 1am) crying. When he does that, it usually means an ear infection. It was his cough, mainly though, that was keeping him up. So I gave him some Tylenol and put him in bed with me (Brad was in Raleigh, but he's back now). And this little guy? He never sleeps in our bed... as in he can't. He thinks it's time to play if he's in our bed. But this time, he grabbed onto my arm, lay his head on my pillow, and drifted off. And I turned into a puddle of mommy goo.
You'll be happy to know that I've been inducted into the stage of mommyhood where you think sleeping with your toddler would be all heavenly, but after you've been kicked in the head a few times, you realize it's not all sweet baby smells and kisses anymore. But still. It was a nice way to spend our morning.

I took him to the doctor yesterday, and he indeed has an ear infection. They didn't mention this, but I'm positive he also has a sinus infection. They gave him something a little stronger this time around, so hopefully he'll be back to normal soon. He had a high fever last night, so I'm reeeeally ready for Spring to come and knock this sickness stuff out.

Anyway, that's the reason for my silence. Hope everyone's having a great week!
