my boys normally falls asleep in their own room at the same time every night, but on some wednesday nights, there's always a twist to it. i usually get to relax for about an hour, but then part of me misses my boys even though i know they're right outside my door! i would carry one kid at a time into my bedroom just so i could cuddle up next to them before i fall asleep. sometimes, they end up there for a few hours because i've passed out and papa dang would have to carry them back to their bedroom when he gets home from the gym. SURPRISE! HAHA. so, yes, that's the only way i've ever been able to execute this. papa dang isn't home. he's at the gym. he wouldn't approve. this would break our routine and he's afraid our boys could get used to it. BUT, there's a reason why i do it.
cuddling is one of my way to demonstrate my love. it's the feeling of security and giving my boys the strength to deal with something. with three boys right now, dylan and evan probably needs more cuddles than aiden. but does that mean, i love them unequally? no. it's just that one child needs more than the other and i respect that.
always remember that more love means more resilient kids. it has a long term impact on how my boys will turn out as adults. and to be honest, as a mom, this is probably the best part when i get to be lovey dovey with them! maybe, that's the reason why all three follow me like crazy!
love my boys. xoxo.
I love to cuddle too! I know my kids won't always want to cuddle with me when they're older, so I need to get in all the cuddles I can get now.
