Milestones

Those pictures from yesterday are a tough act to follow! But the show must go on...

I had another mothering milestone the night before last. I gave a coughing son grape flavored medicine from a spoon. Just another one of those moments that feel like a true parental rite of passage. I remember tearing up the first time I shook my keys for Art when he was a little baby, or having him playing with a toy at his high chair while I cooked dinner. Well, the boys have croup and the other night I was hopping from one coughing child to the next in the middle of the night, taking temperatures and giving medicine. I got out a spoon from the silverware drawer and watched Art take a little medicine and had to urge him to finish it. That was a big time mom moment for me.
