Recently Keagan has been incredibly snuggly towards me. He isn't normally this way. In fact, he normally resists snuggles with mommy...or anyone for that matter. I think his snuggles are because he has been sick. For, like, 5 weeks. Seriously. But I will take what I can get. Then today, he fell down the bottom stairs (don't hate on me- he is a boy and he does boy things) and Josh picked him up off the floor. But he wanted his mommy. I was
trying to nap on the couch (impossible, but I was trying) so Josh put him down with me and he snuggled with me for a good 20-30 minutes! It was so sweet. I love these moments more than anything in the world (and will take them any way I can get them). It saddens my heart how quickly this child is growing up.
I often wonder how long he will let me love on him. Then my mind wonders if I will
want to love on him when he is a stinky 7 year old. Probably. When he is 18 will he let me snuggle him? Probably not...but I sure hope so! My heart hurts to think of him growing up and getting big, and not wanting/needing his mommy anymore.
But, as the old saying goes:
I'll love you
Forever
I'll like you for
Always
As long as I'm living
My
baby you'll be.
The future is bright - my four year old still asks on the regular "Mommy, will you snuggle me?" Like you - I'm all "oh yes - yes I will...now and forever!"
