Last week Sunnyboy had the biggest meltdown of his life, ostensibly because I needed to go to the Post Office but he had a lot of big emotions that needed to be expressed. It was so overwhelming for him that afterwards he fell asleep in my arms, still with his coat and shoes on.
When he woke up Sunnyboy was his usual happy self again and asked me to get the camera to take a picture of him and his baby doll.
The sweetness of a sleeping child. Heart melting. I love that he woke up happy and smiling.
ReplyDeletehee hee - there's the face you love!

My favorite part of my 6-week old daughter's naps are when she's just waking up and does a big stretch that curls her whole body...Great pics!
ReplyDeleteJust a little nap can make all the difference!
ReplyDeleteAww, sleepy little sunnyboy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bright smile!
Awww, that is so sweet that he asked you to take a picture of him and his baby doll! What a great kid he is!
ReplyDeleteHe is just lovely. I know how he feels though - when it all gets just too much. A x
ReplyDeleteit's lovely what a post tantrum nap will do for ya! (and him)
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to let it all out! I'm glad he felt better after the nap!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet! Who would have known he had a meltdown just earlier?! :D
ReplyDeleteJames doesn't have many, but I do feel for him when they happen - such big big emotions - they have to come out somewhere. I think if they are allowed to feel these enormous things it strengthens them so much. Look at Sunny boy smiling there - he is so happy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment on my blog. I have a link for you http://www.archive.org/details/SaturdayWithMez
It is a bi file though xxx
I remember times like that with my now almost 5 year old. Precious pictures. :)
ReplyDeleteMy boys have dolls too - as they grow bigger they can play with them at home only - because they have urge to take them to school :) Sunnyboy is cuty cute like always! They are always cuter when they sleep.
ReplyDeleteHappens to us all! No worries, Mate!
ReplyDeleteI do feel horrible when my kids have those meltdowns... but... they are learning how to deal with emotions during times of sadness... glad he slept it off and was able to move on with his happy lil' self!
ReplyDeletethey sleep so peaceful dont they!
ReplyDeleteHe looks so sweet in his sleep, and so cheerful once he woke up, amazing what a nap can do for a tired child!
ReplyDeleteDid I mention how much I love the new banner?
ReplyDeleteSunnyboy and his doll are precious.
