It is with great joy that I am posting today. In his own special way, Kinetic Boy, has learned to cuddle. Over the past few days he has allowed himself to pause momentarily, from his usual and CONSTANT twisting and turning in my arms during our bedtime routine, to rest his head on my shoulder before resuming previously stated activity. It's the sweetest thing every time he does it.
He also has begun to be quite the little cuddle monkey in the mornings. We use to nurse together in bed and often would doze off for a few extra zzz's before we started our day. With a few pleasant exceptions, we no longer take the extra cat nap. Instead, we cuddle - Peyton's way. He nurses a bit then sits up, crawls up and over me a few times before falling blindly back towards my body with complete trust that I will block his fall. Once sprawled out across me in some form he usually does a barrel roll or two up and down my torso before crawling back up, mouth wide open, sharp tooth poking out, quickly I might add, towards the nipple bar for a few more sips. This last description is always terrifying, but usually ends up being relatively painless, although the positions this monkey has found for nursing are hilarious! After a few more sips we frequently share a quick head nuzzle or two, which has resulted in a direct head butt to my nose on an occasion or two, but pain or no pain, still melts my heart. And then cuddle monkey does it all over again.
