snuggler

I'm so glad Dennis likes to cuddle. He came in to find me in bed a bit early this evening, and he jumped up to climb in with me. He burrowed into my side, wiggling closer and closer. He wrapped his little arms around me in a bear hug and said "I love you, Mom!". I told him how much I enjoyed all his hugs and asked him if he was going to get too big to cuddle one day. He said "silly Mom--I'll always like snuggling with you and giving you hugs even when I'm big like Dad." Wouldn't that be amazing?

We repaired his bedside lamp. Now we can't get him to stop reading in bed. He is most definitely us, just like his parents who occasionally have to blunder sleepily through a day because they stayed up reading too late the night before!
