Dear Hunter,
This long weekend in October 2021, you have been unwell with a stomach bug. The diarrhoea has been going for two days now and you started vomiting this morning.
You love your coconut ice blocks, which have helped you feel better. You’ve been able to keep most fluids down now.
It is the hardest part of being a parent, when you see your baby sick and you can’t do much to make them feel much better. The only thing you can really do is give lots of extra cuddles, keep the fever down with panadol and nurofen to help with muscles aches and pains.
We’ve spent today resting and enjoyed some sunshine but you have been very tired and not your usual full of energy, running around flat out self.
Let’s hope you are all better by the time you wake up tomorrow morning.
At this age (13.5 months) your favourite food is still avocado’s, you love popcorn, coconut ice blocks and peanuts are your favourite. You love playing with the electric toothbrushes. The animals are your favourite, you could chases skips tail around all day snd try riding his back like a pony.
You are the most sweetest boy. Your latest thing is you’ve started to give us kisses if you see us hurt or if you want something that e have said no to, you’ll toddle over and give us the biggest kiss on the lips. It melts my heart and you can get away with anything doing that.
I love being your mum and I love watching you grow. I have never lived like this before and I’ve never been in aww of anyone like I am with you.
You are and always will be perfect to me in every way. I love you so much my sweet baby boy.
Love always,
Your Mum xoxo
Dear Hunter
