First night as a 9-year-old


Bedtime tuck-in on the night of Millie’s 9th birthday:



 Millie: Mom, will you snuggle with me?


Me: ok, Scootch over.


Millie: I know what you’re thinking: You said yes because someday I might not ask you to snuggle with me anymore BUT I will always hug you, and a hug is a one-minute snuggle!!


Me: <squeezes her tight and wills her to stay little forever>


Millie: But don’t worry, I’m still on the snuggle bus. 

 *****

How could she be any more delightful?
