Catching Bugs

There is very little worse than having to hold a sick baby and knowing that you can't do anything about it. Poor little Eli has caught his first flu bug. It struck with force last night just as we were getting him ready for bed and let me tell you, the tummy pyrotechnics were impressive! But the worst of it was his look afterwards - he looked up at me with those big beautiful eyes and seemed to be asking "why did you just let that happen to me, Mom?" OH! So hard! Needless to say we had a rough night, but he woke up this morning smiling and ready to play. I think we made it through the first really nasty "bug"! Unfortunately, I know there are more to come! Why can't I keep him safe from all the big and little troubles of the world? Wishful thinking...
