Pain In The Back
Big boy Ezra is causing big back pain and making me feel like an old man.
No longer can I carry him around with one arm without moaning or complaining about my back at least once. When I see him in his bed, I think twice about how I am going to reach down over the a rails and lift Ezra out (with my back). When we are on the play mat no longer do I lift him from the floor by standing with him secured by one arm and chest, nor do I stand and reach down with back and lift him up from play mat with back because now I lift with legs.
Today -v-, Ezra and I went shopping. I was the one walking around with Ezra strapped to chest for an hour and a half. And now I am sitting down thinking of how we are getting old and about my sore back.
