Post-nap time

You know, sometimes you have to grab the kids in mid-flight, on their mad dash across the room or lawn to get a hug. But right after their nap, well, it’s nice. They’re cuddly and snuggly like no other time of the day. Sometimes dazed and confused, but snuggly none-the-less.
Both the girls are quite affectionate – they’re huggers and kissers. I am too, although sometimes I er on the side of standing straight and not getting down to their level. Jrock has really really stretched himself (never being the affectionate type) but now he gets big hugs and kisses before and after work, post-nap and before bed. You can tell he enjoys it – and who wouldn’t. I especially like now the spontaneous looks in the eyes and “I love you Mama!” with a cheeky grin or a snuggle into my shoulder. Their cheeks are so soft~
Great post – these are tangible memories to treasure as they get older. Yes, the softness of children’s cheeks…mmmm. Nothing like it, when it’s pressed into yours.
Thanks.

I would never have thought to take pictures after nap time, but it is such a sweet time of day that I will have to remember to do that. These are beautiful photos.
Lovely. Savour every moment.
Oh how I love those little sock feet hanging down…

It is true. A hug is an amazing thing… It’s just the perfect way to show the love we’re feeling. But just can’t find the words to say.
