Sometimes I can not stay and snuggle as long as she wants. In those moments when I have to push her off me because encouragement to end the snuggles hasn’t worked, I say a little prayer that when I’m older and she’s older I can remember how wonderful it feels to hold her little body on mine while she hugs me. Her soft little skin, warm arms, fluffy fresh smelling hair, and lovely giggles or stories are the best.
If she’s not pinning me down then she’s snuggled into my right armpit with her arms on my chest, head on me and often one leg thrown over me as well. We will talk, giggle, kiss, and she will always tell me many times that I have the best snuggles.
Usually we are chatting. She tells me stories or asks me questions. She is in control and I just soak it up as long as I can.
This girl is such a light for me in so many ways. This is one of those ways I’ve never experience. I know it will be a short matter of time before these cuddles become less frequent, less appreciated and fade. Today I said to Clair when she was laying on my chest that I hoped that when I’m older and she doesn’t snuggle me anymore that I will always remember this moment. My girl looked at me and instantly started crying at the thought of not snuggling me anymore. I quickly told her that I will snuggle her as long as she wants. That I am her mommy and I will always appreciate her snuggles. Her frown turned upside down as she told me good because I will always snuggle you.
