The Goldilocks of Squishiness

I love holding and cuddling my girls. I remember several years back worrying about when Lorelei would outgrow my lap and wouldn't want to snuggle any more. How bizarre to think that at some point the little body that I knew better than anyone else, would be hidden away in modesty. Lorelei still likes hugs and kisses, but she doesn't seem to want to sit on my lap for too long and she is more interested in waking early in the mornings to watch tv (with the volume off so that I don't know about it!!!!!!) than in coming to give me kisses and a good morning. That said, she isn't as fun to cuddle as she once was either because now she is all angles; long legs and knees and elbows, feet and heels. Too hard.

Sabrina doesn't cuddle just yet. So far it is more like molding her body to mine. I think it will be more enjoyable once she develops her back muscles and uses her spine more! Too soft (oh, but so, so soft!).

Emma is such a rough and tumble bulldozer of a child that I worried she wouldn't want to be cuddled at all.  Thankfully I was wrong. She likes to sit on my lap and touch my face. She comes in to my room in the morning to cuddle until she is fully awake. I love folding her up into myself. Her skin is so soft and squishy. She still has the little dimples at her knuckles and honestly cheeks to make a squirrel jealous. Just right!
