when (attempting) to cuddle with a toddler

i used to have a baby boy, i would sit and hold him and stare into his eyes and study his features, i played with his baby soft hair, smelled his baby smell, studied each detail....

and it's a damn good thing i did, cause that is so over!

the other night while i was rocking my baby before bed, he took my hand and rubbed it across his cheek, so i did for a while, then he looked up at me in the dim bedroom night light. i looked at his beautiful little face for a few seconds, and then out of nowwhere...he stuck his fingers up my nose!

i started laughing, he started chortling, we both got a little hysterical, i laid him down in his crib and kissed him goodnight, since the moment was definately gone!
