Living Arrows 32/52

Toddler John feeling sorry for himself with a fever.
This kid, he's a whirlwind. From the moment he wakes to the moment he goes back to bed, he literally does not stop. His energy is endless & his charm is ever present. So when his temperature rises & the cuddles commence, you know something isn't right with him.

Of course, despite the fact he's barely had a sniffle this year, he was feeling pretty sorry for himself the week I return to work. It started with the heavy eyes & trailing feet on Wednesday and then the temperature rising and not wanting to go to nursery on Thursday. By Thursday night it was game over - kid was well & truly ill.

He was like a hot water bottle, with a temperature that even Calpol couldn't touch. As he snuggled into me & lay across me for the entire night, not managing more than 30 minute stretches at time... Occasionally crying out and talking in his sleep ("no - no, Panda...", "John draw pictures..."), looking for comfort & reassurance each time he woke... It was just like when he was a little baby, snuggled in to his Mummy & Daddy; the only thing that would really make him feel better & bring him back to his whirlwind self.

    1. Thanks, Sarah. He's much better now. And he's not got any mascara on either ;) It's not really fair! xo
