February 9, 2005 | Offspring: ecstasy and agony

Him: *pad pad pad* Hi Mama… I heard your alarm… but I think you need a snuggle.
Me: Hmmm? Oh, okay, baby.
Him: *climbing under the covers and folding himself into the space between my knees and my chest* I had a bad dream but I did what you said!
Me: *wrapping my arms around his sleep-warmed body* What’s that?
Him: I told the monster I was just little and he should GO AWAY! And he did!
Me: That’s great, honey!
Him: Yes. Mama? You’re soft.
