Harana

He's been sick at home the past few days, and even with Russ staying to take care of him so I could work, I've had some shameful moments...

But after work today I took over Russ and quietly stayed with J after a boob drink while he played with his toys. As he held a mirror to his face, I said hi to his reflection, which delighted him. I showed him different ways we could say hi to each other while playing with the mirror, which he loved, and at one point he even put his face next to mine so we could both look at our reflections and beam at each other. I've recently had a radical haircut so some days I look frumpy (today was one) and I almost frowned at myself, but then I saw the way he was looking back at me and realised he probably thinks I'm one of the most beautiful people on this planet! <3

He's a bit easier to put to bed now because he doesn't have to be rocked. I only have to have the white noise machine on and sing to him softly. After some writhing around the bed like a ferocious walrus he eventually falls asleep. I sang him my favourite love songs tonight. It's so much fun to sing it to him with genuine feeling albeit softly.
