Just this morning my husband and I were snuggling in bed with our daughter and 4-year old son. My arm was reaching over my daughter and my hand was resting on my son. My daughter said, “Why is Mommy’s hand on you? And my son said, “Because she loves me.” Love their little budding perceptions of love.

When my second oldest was in the first and second grade he would come and climb in bed and cuddle with me for 15 or 20 minutes every morning. I once confided in him that that was my favorite part of my day. He’s 15 now and mentioned a few months ago that he hoped I’d remember to tell his baby sister and brother someday that they were my favorite part of the day too. It always amazes me when I’ve done or said something by accident that turned out so well. Imagine what I’d have accomplished if I’d been intentional. On the other hand, maybe it’s just completely opening our hearts and articulating it to our little ones that always works out. (No, his brother wasn’t left out, we had a different ritual of cuddling on the couch and talking, front porch in summer, living room in winter, that we still continue. Not as often now that he’s 17, but when he needs his mommy and to talk, he still knows where I am. Odd, now that he’s 4 inches taller than I am and I’m the one cuddled up under his arm, but still very, very good.)

@Lisa, oh! Thank you for those kind words!! I'm so glad these thoughts have meant something in your life. Believe me, it's a constant process for me to concentrate on being intentional, too. Much of what I write, I am saying to myself first and foremost! Megan’s last blog post..Be Intentional with Touch
