Sunny 9 for 2005 August 3

Can I just say that the sweetest most heart warming thing in the world is now Lily can give hugs and kisses when I ask her too. And even better is when she crawls up to me offering them without even me asking her too. Her kisses are pretty slobbery and to someone else may be considered gross, but I love them all the same.

This is a child that never let me snuggle her to sleep, it was either 1) I hate this woman for putting me in my crib alone so I am going to bellow and stand here peeking over the rail of my crib until she gets me out (the getting me out part worked on Lorna first time she babysat after seeing her peeking over her crib-it is pretty dang cute) or 2) awesome, she got me out and now I am going to stiff arm her neck and twist my body till she puts me down b/c now it is time to play. But now she does something I never thought she would. She lays her head down on my shoulder and puts her arms tightly around my neck and shoulder.

Sometimes if I am lucky she will pat my back just like I pat hers. I never realized that I did that with her until she started patting my back and I thought, "why is she patting my back, and I looked and I was doing the same." It is nice to have a snuggle bug around.
