Death by Hugging
LW is a very affectionate kid. Hands down the most physically loving of any of my kids, and also full of compliments about how wonderful I am and how much he loves me.
It's very sweet. Really.
And I know I will miss this terribly in another year or two when adoring your mom isn't cool anymore.
But this weekend I find myself craving a few hours in an isolation tank. Who knew being the object of adoration could be so wearing?
Too bad I can't bottle this up to sprinkle through his teen years.
