So earlier I was checking email and doing my daily blog stalking and Jared came up next to the computer. He was just hovering, so I told him to go play. He looked up at me with his big eyes and said, "Mom I just need to hug you for a minute." Well needless to say- the computer was put on hold while we cuddled. I scooped him up and had a good hug. I wanted to keep him there, but his minute was actually about 5 seconds. He says, "Mom, put me down- I HATE girls hair." I guess I was hugging too tightly.
But the whole thing got me thinking. How many times am I too "busy" for my kids? And how much longer are they even going to want to "hug for a minute" ? Hopefully, I can create an environment where they can always just come get a hug. My parents are good huggers, I can always get a hug from them. (Only occasionally Mom will ask what I want this time!) So anyways, if you are reading this- go find your baby or babies (no matter how big they are) and "hug for a minute" don't be too busy for them. Wouldn't it be sad if they were too busy for you?

That is really cute. Tayton won't let me give him hugs because he is too busy playing with Thomas. He seriously has not stopped playing with the train set. He loves it, thank you soooo much. Thanks for your cute comment about me, too bad we all know it is not true.
I totally love that thought!! Thanks for the reminder!!
