my sweet kai (that's what my gramma o' would have called him)

when your kid doesn't sleep in the car, it sucks. when you try to get him to do what you ask him to and he freaks out, it sucks. when he won't eat after he just asks for food, it sucks.

and then you get to see him sleeping peacefully at night curled up with his favourite stuffed toy.

i wouldn't change having a kid for anything in the world.
