Snuggle Bug

Do you ever feel like you love one of your kids WAY more than the others? C'mon, I'm serious - just admit it. Not all the time, just sometimes. My youngest son (5)has received favorite status a few times in the last week.

This morning he crawled into my bed and wrapped his warm little arms around my neck and would not let go. I said, "I have to get up, I'm a busy woman." He said, "No, you're a snuggling woman."

Last week I asked him if he wanted to join Tae Kwon Do with his brother and sister. He said yes....then after thinking about it for awhile he said, "No Mama, I'd rather just stay home with you and snuggle."

Do you think he'll always be this way? When his high school friends ask him what he's doing Sat. night is he going to say..."Snuggling with my mom?" When his girlfriend asks if he's going to take her to the prom or not, will he say," Ummm I don't think so - that's snuggle night at our house."

Speaking of snuggling - here's good one from middle son. A few weeks ago we were having family movie night and I was holding the youngest, husband was holding the oldest, and MS was all by himself on the couch. I said, "Do you feel left out with no one to snuggle with?" He said, hands down his pants, "Nope, I'm just snuggling with my penis."

And THAT is the insanity of a middle child......
