He came over, laid himself across my lap, and asked “Can you scratch my back please, Mommy?”
For the record, the answer to that will always, always be yes.

I still ask my mom to play with my hair sometimes. ; )
Sweet baby! They are growing up so fast.
I’ve been a follower for a long time, ever since I counted how old my little one was by weeks.
oh i love it. my moment today came after some tension w/ my son today. he was having a hard time with something, & kept coming back to it in conversation. after a little while of this (& one worn-out mama), he said, “mommy?” — expecting more expressions of discontent, i held my breath & whispered a very quiet & hesitant, “yes? . . . ”
“i love you.”
I do so love giving the back scratches. It makes my heart warm knowing that my son can feel love from me in such a simple way. Sometimes he asks me to scratch his arm too!
