So on Friday, Jamie was in bed cuddling with me as he does every morning. He has taken to sleeping with me at night as a security measure. Many of you, I am sure, if you think back will know the reason for this. He is 7 and I have no issue with him doing so considering what he has undergone. So he falls asleep beside me on the couch and then I take him to bed with me when I go to bed with me. I will stand him up on the couch and say arms and he wraps his arms around my neck. Then I say legs and he wraps his legs around my waist. He then sleeps with me at night and before we get up in the morning we have a bit of a cuddle session. And let me tell you this mom loves it! So at various points and becoming more frequent, Jamie will climb on top of me and lie tummy to tummy with his head on my chest and my arms wrapped around me. As he was doing this Friday, a picure flashed through my mind. Koala hugs!
Now this is what we look like, if you can imagine Mama koala lying down on her back. If you notice they are tummy to tummy and babe has buried his head into Mama. Here`s an alternate view of what I am trying to get you to envision.
The really amusing part of this all is this: when Build-A-Bear opened, I got each of the kids a bear and recorded a special message in it to each of them. A personalized message specific to them. Lo and behold what did I get Jamie? You guessed it: a Koala Bear. And so for him and me, we now have Koala cuddles!!!
