tonight, i received the best welcome home hug EVER! my baby grabbed my head and held me in an endearing head lock, and said, "lub you." i hugged him back and said, ' i love you too." thinking it was going to be a short-lived moment, i prepared for him to let go, but he continued to wrap both of his tiny little arms around me, held me cheek to cheek and said, "lub you, lub you." i soaked it all in. it was the best darn hug in the world and i never wanted it to end. it lasted a good few minutes.
preston is really becoming a little person of his own and he has his moments like all little kids do, but he is such a lovely, loving child to his family. he is fair to all the grandparents, and loves each and every one of them, even jack's dad who he hasn't seen since he was maybe 10 months old. how the heck he remembered his grandpa and just naturally bonded and accepted him with open arms and heart baffles me, but it's as if no time ever passed when in fact, it has been almost a year since he saw jack's dad. and even though he doesn't see jack's brother that often, when michael comes over, preston acts himself, will play with michael and there's no awkwardness at all. i think this all means he's going to be a family oriented man when he grows up. he sure loves us, because he probably feels how much we all love him.
