Is there anything better than a spontaneous leg hug??
Bleary eyed and completely exhausted from a long week, I was getting ready for work this morning while Jackson played nearby. In an instant, I felt a tight embrace on my leg and looked down in surprise. It was a clinging monkey, who had a full smile and the warmest hug for me on a cold rainy morning. After reciprocation of a long embrace, he ran over to his Daddy and did the same.
Now, let's be honest. In full disclosure, Jack has never been a "hugger". He has always been more like a cat - snuggly for a few moments at his own discretion, but then quickly on the move when something shiny or bright catches his eye. But, now that seems to be shifting. Two hug stories in one week!? First Ella, and now his parents . . . you just watch - he is going to start hugging and kissing us so much that our faces will melt off. I wonder how it is that his little face is still intact after the millions of kisses we've planted on his scrumptous cheeks...
