Sweet

Last night, I was feeding Luke and Zo their before-bedtime bottles, on the carpeted floor, one kid on either side of me.

Luke finished first, and was quickly up tearing around the room (funny, both the kids are so high energy right before bed, but as soon as it's time to sleep they go down no problem.)

Anyway, mid-tear Luke came over, crawled into my lap, put his head on my chest and snuggled into me and just sat there, very still and close. And then a minute later he was down, back to his wild ways.

It's hard to explain what makes this so different from anything that has happened before. I mean, my kids cuddle with me all the time...I think what it is is that it's usually me picking them up and them reciprocating...this is the first time either of them has initiated anything like this. Just so completely out-of-the-blue mine for that minute...so much love communicated through his little body.

It's so cliched, but this is what they mean by moments that take your breath away. I'll remember it for the rest of my life...

XOXO
