Positively moving forward

We got about 2 more inches yesterday and it looked like about 0.5 inch overnight. I am hoping we don't get too much today because I won't be home until 8 and won't be able to shovel.

H didn't call S last night like he had told S, but no big deal. Luckily, S still does not completely understand time so not a problem.

S got upset this morning because I won't be picking him up from school because of conferences. He cried, but mommy I want you and then wanted me to cuddle him this morning which I couldn't do for too long because I had to go to work. I let him know I will get him ASAP after my meetings. He said don't go to your meetings. S was fine once he got to school and was excited about going to my parents. He always has fun there and doesn't really get to hang out with my parents during the school year. I know he will be ok, but this constant needing me has gotten really bad again. He once again will not fall asleep unless I am right next to him and we had gotten to a place where at least I could put him to bed (in my bed still) and I could go do some me stuff for about an hour and he would be asleep when I got to bed. Now he won't go to sleep until I am right next to him. I even started putting him to bed a little earlier so we can read a book and cuddle before he goes to sleep, but now he falls asleep on me or holding my hand. He is always worried and that is sad to me. I am sure he will be fine and will get out of this just like last year.

I am hoping I can get him back into his bed once it gets warmer. I think part of him wanting to sleep in my bed is that it is slightly warmer. He did say something about wanting a big bed so maybe moving him to a twin or full bed will be good. I don't know, but I will have to think about it.

Not looking forward to conferences, but hopefully it goes quickly. I am looking forward to the food because they always give us stuff to nibble on during this and it is usually good stuff, especially the carmel chocolate chunk cookies.
