My Sweet Boy

Robbie is learning to be careful with mommy's tummy as it is sore. He is 4.5 though and like most kids his age loves crawling on mommy and daddy for hugs. Robbie has heard to many "ouchs, ughs and such" lately. He is always sorry when he hurts mommy and I know that it is an accident.

Last night I had a really rough night. I woke up in pain and had to take extra meds. This morning when Sean and Robbie were ready to leave for the day they came in and gave me kisses. I was pretty out of it so I am not sure if I said something about pain or if Robbie bumped my tummy. All that I do know is that Robbie left his turtle to comfort mommy.

Robbie's stuffed turtle was a first birthday gift from Clarke and Cecelia Dyer. Actually the turtle he has now is a replacement of the original that got lost on our move back to Edmonton. Anyways, Turtle (that is his name) is Robbie's baby/brother/best friend. Turtle is who Robbie turns to when hugs and kisses from mommy and daddy are not enough to ease the pain. Turtle sleeps with Robbie every night (along with his blanky). Turtle is Robbie's best friend.

When I woke up hours later I did not remember about Turtle being in bed with me. I rolled over and something was under me. I jumped. When I saw that Turtle was lying there on our bed I remembered my sweet little son wanting mommy to feel better. What a sweet boy giving his mommy something that makes him feel better.

I love Robbie so much.
