Ode to a boy (he's so sweet!)

The boy is so sweet! He's decided to play the little boy again, coming to me for hugs and kisses. He went through a phase a few months ago where he was too cool for physical demonstrations of affection from his mother. It's really nice to have him seeking me out again, it's so sweet! I'm trying to make sure to appreciate it now, burn these kisses into my mind, in preparation for the teenage years ahead.

He's also been pretty funny in his embarrassment to see his parents' affection for each other. The other night he and I were talking about how he wants to get a LEGO mindstorm NXT (very, very cool!). We were walking down the stairs together, and hubby was in the kitchen washing dishes. When we got to the kitchen I stopped to give hubby a kiss, and the boy's monologue just kind of trailed off, he said, "uh...oh," in an uncomfortable kind of way and disappeared. I stepped into the hallway and saw him fidgeting on the stairs, bending over with his head on the stairs (downdog to those who speak yoga). You could just see his confusion about how to react. He's so sweet!
