The Mommy-shaped hole
In every child’s life (and probably in every person on the planet), there is a hole that only can be filled by their mommy.
When you’re a 2 year old with a broken arm, the need for that hole to remain filled grows larger.
Which I why I escaped to have a haircut this morning, and why Tad is burrowed in on my lap right now as I’m typing, and ALSO why he didn’t take a complete nap today.
TV does not fill the Mommy-shaped hole. Neither does food. Not even Daddy can fully satisfy his needs at the moment.
Help me. I love this boy with all my heart, but I’d like to be able to go to the bathroom by myself, too.
