Living in the Moment

I love to snuggle with Mick. This has not happened in MONTHS. He is too interested in looking around or playing. Even if he is tired, he goes and goes and goes until the last minute.

Today though he wanted to be held. No so much snuggle but just be held. I had things I wanted to do but he just would not let me put him down. And so I didnt. I did everything I needed to but with him in my arms. I just help him and kissed him and carried on.

I was told by a lot of people when Mick was born to enjoy every minute, to snuggle whenever possible. I listened to that advice and let him take a nap on me every chance I got. I never got anything done but I didnt care. I loved having him so close. Others told me not to do it because of him getting to used to it but I did it anyway. And I am glad I did.

I loved every single sleepy moment he had, every minute of closeness.

He does not do that anymore and I miss it, but I am SOOO glad I cherished the moment when I had it.
