delight

As I was making lunch today, Caia walked up behind me. She wrapped her pudgy arms around my legs and buried her face in my legs. And then she laughed. She did it three times. She would wrap me up, burrow into me and laugh and then let go and wander away. It was lovely.
Such a simple thing and yet it made my day that much better. I know that my boys love me but they show it in different ways. I get hugs and kisses before bed and I get to hold them when we wrestle and sometimes when we read books. Mostly though, their love comes in their desire to be with me and to have me notice them. And I love that. But sometimes you just need someone to hug your legs and laugh in delight.
