This kid.
He is the sweetest thing.
He’s smart and funny and creative and kind and all sorts of other things, but above all – to me, anyway – he is sweet.
Sam is so affectionate. He loves to hug and to be hugged, and if you ask him what his favorite thing to do is, he will say “snuggle.” Building Legos, playing baseball, watching super hero movies… It’s all good. But this kid enjoys nothing more than to be cuddled up on the couch with his mom or dad. Preferably both.
And his love language? It is, well, language. He’s constantly telling us how wonderful we are and how much he loves us. Like out loud and in front of people and everything. Constantly.
He is so sweet.
Sam is almost seven years old. (omg, I’m not sure how to even process that.) While I know that the odds are he will always love us (or, as Mr. Peabody would say, have a deep regard for us), I also know that this intensity will be short-lived.
Even when the moment has passed, I will forever be thankful for my darling baby boy. But I hope it lasts just a little longer.
My son is the same way! He is 8 years old and very snuggly with me! I know it won’t last forever so I enjoy it. My daughter is 9 and isn’t like that anymore!
Love little boys 🙂
I have a much younger friend who is expecting triplet boys. She is a little scared…but she is going to be overwhelmed with boy sweetness…I know exactly what you are describing, Em.
My 11-year-old is like that. He is so sweet! Earlier today, I came home from a quick trip to the store. I don’t recall the exact conversation, but we were teasing each other and I finally said: “Well, what do you *want* anyway?” He held out his arms and said, “A hug!”
*mom heart melting*
That’s sweet!!

My two giants still want snuggle time and I still get hugs in public so you never know how long it might last!
I am so happy to hear that!
That is the BEST!! I hope it lasts a very long time!
