Heaven's Hugs

Heaven's hugs are what K gives me before bed. It started when I first started the dreaded, putting- her-down-to- bed. (hear attachment parenters gasp and unsubscribe simulatenously)

I would go to put her down, ok, LAY her down, she is after all NOT a pit bull. And she would wrap her little arms around my neck and lay her little head on my shoulder and squeeze.
Ahhhh, can you say juicebox????? (her latest nickname by S)

So I stole those hugs as many times as she would give them and I would just hold her, sometimes for as long as 5-10 minutes swaying back and forth by her crib as she dozed off, yes, BEFORE I layed her down. (hear baby schedulers gasp and unsubscribe simultaneously)

She still hugs me now but for REALl and not just to try to stay out bed. She still hugs me before bed but I have found that I can lay her down directly just as easily.

But really now, do I have to????
