I LOVE being a mother. It is really tough, don't get me wrong, but as I blew out my cake candle I actually wished for one more child. Shhh, don't tell Larry.
One day I am going to have to tackle my kids so that I can kiss them and hold them and smell them. Even now, it is a rare moment that they let me truly cuddle them. Last night, Gibson came in my room in the middle of the night after having a bad dream and he climbed right on top of me. As I felt his little cold legs against my big (hehe) warm legs, I had a memory of cuddling with my mom when I was a child. I remember she felt so warm and safe. I used to LOVE sleeping with her at night. She usually let me. Larry and I tend to tell them to get back in their own bed. Last night was a good reminder to enjoy it while I can. Lauren Kate still loves to cuddle. She is constantly holding Gracy's hand. I could inhale my kids if it was physically possible.
Love them, love them, love them. As Larry says, "They are so yummy!"
