I am in sick toddler he!!. Seriously. Baby is sick…it started with a congested, only coughing at night, no big deal thing, didn’t phase him a bit. Fine…then a few days ago, full fledged cold came on. Ok fine. In all fairness, he has barely been sick in his short little 2 year old life, so he was due. Well, apparently he’s been saving this man style “oh woe is me, I am so sick” fury up for 2 years. I am sick too now, except, I am mommy, and Mommy does not have time to be sick because mommy must spend every second catering to the insane whims of sick Baby man. Everything is YUCKY! EVERYTHING. The Kid barely ate anything at all to begin with and now even those things are yucky. He’ll ask for something, and as I hand it to him, he starts, DAT’s YUCKY! My not want that, dat’s yucky! You just asked me for this!!!!!! You live on crackers, how can they be yucky??? He wants to be held ALL the time, this does not bode well for Mommy who ya know, has things to do, like take care of the neighbor’s baby, among other things, like breathing, eating, laundry, cleaning, chauffeuring, erranding, working. Last night was bad, he decided he would not sleep unless I held him. Ok. I don’t think so. I did it because I was so tired and sick and just wanted to lay down, so we came down to the couch and slept till I felt it safe to try and put him back to bed. Not again buddy, we had a little chat this evening before bed and he had better know better than to pull that one again.  On the positive note, today we actually had more “good” moments than previous days. He smiled and laughed and ran and played more today than yesterday so I am hoping and praying we’re on the upswing because I am not sure how much longer I can stand to hear…DAT’S YUCKY!!!!!
