Now I must admit I did not take to kindly to this and I proceeded to put the little sprout down and walk away mostly in a stunned sort-of stupor. It is wonderful that he can now show his emotions such as frustration - not so wonderful that he decides to test these out with me...
So all afternoon I've felt pretty disheartened - not helped by the fact that he has pushed me away at every chance today and only wanted his dad. But I suppose one of us has to be the 'bad-guy' who makes sure we eat dinner and get our bottom changed for bed - all things of which Bugg does not want to partake in.
Sometimes being the rule-enforcer sucks. :(
But after a few hours of him finally going to sleep, I cautiously tip-toed back into his room, trying my hardest not to wake what could possibly resemble a grumpy monster more so than a little boy - and remember why I do all the things I do as a mummy... Because he is my beautiful little boy, and it's my job.
And as he sleeps so peacefully, I get my second moment for the day - and although he doesn't even know he's sharing it with me, Bugg makes me realise how very very lucky I am to be a mummy to him already and a new little person in the not-too-distant future.
