BOURBONandBEER

I started my first batch last sunday. It's a brown ale with two cups of honey and one cup of bourbon added just before the end of the boil. My one year old pulled the airlock out at about 72 hours and my wife replaced it within seconds but since then the airlock has not been bubbleing at all. I moved the bucket to a more secure location and noticed that as i moved it a few bubbles were coming through the airlock so I swirled it a bit and this got it going again. I read in a couple forums that airaiting any at all during this stage can be bad. Should I start over?
