i've just done something that was either really lovely, or really stupid (both, i suspect)

[Tutter]

cuddled ds til he went to sleep

he's 2.1yo

last few nights he's been very unsettled - cried a lot at bedtime and naptime

could be to do with imminent arrival of ds2 - or possibly just one of thos random things

anyway, after stories i chatted to him about how he needn't be sad, etc etc and we were having a lovely cuddle (he's not normally a bug cuddler)

and i couldn't bring myself to move

please tell one night won't make a difference and that he won't expect this every night now [pleading]

i do this when they are ill.

i love seeing them asleep. dd2 smiles in her sleep. dd1 with her beautiful white arms.
