This evening before sending Neil to bed, I said to him: "Mommy loves Neil. Does Neil love mommy?" and he leaned over to me and kissed me on the cheek! So I asked him again, "Mommy loves Neil. Does Neil love mommy?". And again he leans in to kiss me. Then he puts his check against my chest and gives me a hug.
This is the first time he's given me a hug! It was such a heartwarming, magical, precious moment.
We played this "game" of kisses and hugs for a few minutes, giggling and laughing. Then, just as quickly as it began, he turned around and went to play with his tractor. :)
Bless his little cotton socks. What a wonderful moment.

ReplyDeleteHugs, kisses, tractors. It's all the same to him. But you'll never forget it. :)
