"He's got you right where he wants you," said the nurse to me yesterday after giving ds his vaccinations. He was smiling at her, his most beautific smile.
This got me thinking as I got into the car. Do I favour ds over dd?
Ds is 19 weeks old, he has given me the hardest weeks of my life. He has been hard, hard work. Crying all the time, colicking, posseting, feeding endlessly, you name it..
Dd, now 2, was an angelic baby. I can honestly say that I didn't lose much sleep when she was born, a fact which had me feeling pretty smug. I didn't need to question why she was crying, it all happened so 'naturally'. In fact, I really worried that I wouldn't love another baby as much as I do dd.
Then ds comes along and shatters my misconceptions completely. Why is it that when I pick him up, he's crying like his world is falling apart, he'll suddenly stop, fix his great, big beautiful eyes on me and grin from ear to ear as if to say "Gotcha!".
Then I know that my heart is putty in his hands.
