I am blessed beyond words.

Because I have two amazing children whom I love with every fiber of my being. I am a snuggeler. I love to snuggle with my kids every chance I get. Shayna is also a snuggler. She let's me kiss and hug and love her pretty much whenever I want. Britton is a little different, it has to be on his terms.

The last few weeks Britton has been coming out of his room at night, after he has been tucked in. He climbs up on the couch with me and snuggles for as long as I will allow. I know in my mind this is his way of avoiding sleep but in my heart I don't care. It's our time, and I'm savoring it.

The other night he asked me why I allow him to do this. I told him because there will be a time when he will not want to give me hugs. He will think it is awkward and very un-cool. I told him I just wanted to enjoy the little things, like hugs, because some day they will become big things, things that he will roll his eyes at and try with all his might to avoid.

He promised it would never be like that. Not even in college.

I'm going to make him write it down in his perfect penmanship and sign it in his perfect cursive.
