Parker’s nighttime routine has been evolving lately; we read a couple of stories, pray, sing a song, give hugs and kisses and lay down with his blankie and fuzzy bear. It’s so cute to see him fold his hands and try to say “amen”, rock his head back and forth when we sing, and give me huge hugs around my neck.
Well, a couple of nights ago, I laid him down and he stood back up for more hugs and kisses. I kissed him on both cheeks, but I guess that wasn’t enough, because he grabbed my face with both hands and planted a big sloppy one right on the kisser. I couldn’t help giggling; it was so darling.
As much as I love (and get frustrated) with him during the day, I get an extra burst of love in those sweet moments before dreamy time.
