Cause snuggles happen

C gave up naps at 2 years 4 months. That was 1 year 9 months ago. Since then he only naps once every couple months. "Rest time" is a joke and has never worked. Well, today he wasn't feeling well so he was laying on the couch with a sleeping daddy. L was taking her nap. I found myself with nothing that I had to do, so I pulled out a sewing project that I had started and got to finishing it. I was making progress too well my little man came wandering into my work space.

"Mommy, I feel sick. I want to snuggle with you."

How could I turn that down. So we climbed into my bed and snuggled. He asked a billion questions as we lay snuggled up. Then after a few minutes asked if we could go out to play cause he wasn't tired. I told him we could but first we needed to rest for 15 minutes. The kid was doing the tired stare and knew he was tired.

I fell asleep almost immediately and woke when I twitched. (Does anyone else do that weird twitch thing as they fall asleep?) Well, it woke me up and there was my sweet 4 year old sound asleep. Eventually L woke up and I left C to sleep. 2 1/2 hours later he woke up. We figured he'd be up til midnight since he slept til 5:45. Nope. He was zonked by 9. Phew.

Sometimes I get frustrated when I want to work on my own things and I get interrupted. Today I was reminded that kids don't stay small forever. I couldn't help by snuggle with my baby boy and enjoy being his mom.
