Well it is tonight....after a very difficult week for my lovely little Lapwing she went to bed and was very tearful, reluctant and slightly rejecting, for no apparent reason, but hey ho that's not uncommon. A little later on as I went to the kitchen I saw a note had been thrown down the stairs. It read ...' I don't love you, love 'Lapwing'... I went back upstairs and found her silently crying and clearly racked with confusion. She couldn't explain or speak to me at all, was looking at me with a sort of accusation and anger, but also looked vulnerable and lonely.Eventually I stopped trying to talk to her and turned her light off and sang her a lullaby...I stroked her head and after 15 minutes she fell into a sleep. Now I still don't know what was the matter, but the Good news, albeit bitter sweet is that she told me how she felt, ( I know she loves me, I know sometimes she hates me/mothers/mummys/ etc/ ) and then accepted my comfort.... that's huge in my world and I am thankful for it..........
