You know, I don't like when my child is sick or hurt. My heart aches for him when he is unwell. However, I've got to admit that I do love being his comfort zone when he is sick or he's hurt himself.
When he's hurt, that moment when he cries and I open my arms and he comes toddling towards me as fast as his little legs can carry him and he lets me envelope him in a hug while laying his head on my shoulder is pure love. He lets me kiss his finger or his toe, where ever he's hurting, before wriggling free, a happy boy once again. My heart grows a little bigger every time he reminds me that I have the special healing Mommy kiss now.
When he's sick, I feel more helpless. A kiss and a hug can't make it better this time. However, when he reaches for me and snuggles his little body into mine and looks at me with his big blue-green eyes, I remember what it was like as a child and knowing that Mom can make any sick moment better. I didn't realize until I was a mom that I was capable of stopping tears and subsiding tummy aches with a kiss and a cuddle.
They must have slipped me something in the hospital when Lil Mootz was born because I can't figure out how else I've acquired this trait.
Stonewall has his own theory. He says it's the boobs; a comfy built-in pillow, plus arms for hugging all in one.
I wish he would never hurt or he never had to be sick, but I know that's just a part of life. I only hope he always knows he can come to me and I will do everything in my power to make him feel better.

Aw, I hope he feels better soon. There's nothing worse than a sick baby, poor thing. And, I think maybe Stonewall's right about the boob thing ha ha.
Aw! Feel better little guy! :)
I know what you mean, though, its such a great feeling when they run to you as soon as they're hurt or upset. It kinda makes it all worthwile. :)
Awww such a sweet post! I hope he's feeling better soon!
Poor little buddy!
Hey, who cares where it came from! I'd soak it up as long as he still wants it! :)
KS has the same theory!! Hope the little guy starts feeling better soon!
Oh no! I hope he feels better soon. I kinda agree about the boobs too. ;-)
If you have a farmer's coop or and Atwood's nearby Corona Ointment is the very best diaper rash medicine - ever! It should clear it up overnight!It's in a big yellow tube with a red lid and it's made for animals so you'll find it in the vetinary department - but really, it works wonders. The local drug store I used when my kids started carrying it in the baby department and recomending it because it works so well.
