Being a Bad Parent, Again!

Look at that sweet sleeping face!  Do you think there are enough stuffed animals?  He needed 'all the animals' tonight.  I had to pack them around him and he still was needing some deep pressure.  He is wearing out.  It is the last week of school and man, you can tell!

I was a bad parent today.  Today I was on US time, not Australia time.  I get organized and get Levi off to school as normal.  Then about half way through the day I find out that I am actually a bad parent.  I find out that it is actually the 21st and not the 20th as I had thought all day.  The 21st was a 'Free Dress' day at school and not just any free dress day but a 'Dress as your favourite Superhero' one.  He only gets one free dress day a term and I missed the day.  He went in his uniform.  I was very stressed as I thought that Levi would be stressed and unhappy all day.  

I went to get Levi at After School Care and he was happy and playing.  He didn't really care.  He didn't mind at all.  I was blown away.  I think he is more mature than I expect at times.  On a good note, my voice is finally starting to come back properly and I can walk further without feeling like there isn't enough oxygen in the air.  This was a nasty cold!

The other really sweet story.  This morning as I went to get up, Levi suddenly sat up.  I said;

"I thought you were sleeping."

And he said;

"I was lying here enjoying the morning"

That is a sweet little boy.  He is such a good little boy.  Have I said lately how much I love that little mancub!
