I guess I never really noticed it before but isn’t it just so great when toddlers start giving you Real hugs!
I mean the real squeeze tight kind of hugs , not just when they lay their head on your shoulder when you ask for a hug.
Tornado has been giving real hugs for some time but Lady bug has just started. And can i say there is just such a huge difference between the two. Tornado feels like a bear hug! Which is great in and of itself but Lady bug ,hers is so gentle and nurturing. One of my favorites times she gives me a hug is when I am standing at the kitchen sink and she comes up and slips her arms around one of my legs and lingers there for a while. There is nothing quite like the hug for a child to grip your heart in so many ways it sends your head whirling with memories whether of your own childhood or the earlier childhood memories of your own children!
Keep ’em coming guys!
