If you have a shit day, go cuddle a baby.

Yesterday was one of the hardest days of my life for personal reasons. This morning I cried every time I opened my mouth, and then I remembered the famous line:

If you have a shit day, go cuddle a baby.

There can never be a truer word spoken. I went into the garden with Little Toddlers, and Evie, who is for the most part quiet and reserved, came rushing over shouting 'E-ree-ka, e-ree-ka, e-ree-ka!' It made me smile, and shed a(nother) tear! 

Then all at the same time 3 or 4 babies wanted me to cuddle them, they couldn't be comforted by anyone else, and Anastazia, the mama on duty, said 'Erika, today they are all crying because they want only you'. That's not really a nice thing is it, but it made me smile...  I felt wanted, needed, and I suddenly realised I just have to keep busy... and get lots of cuddles...
