Brenden, as you know if you’ve spent more than 10 seconds around him, isn’t really much of a snuggler. He has one gear: fifth. Whether he’s running around in the tent, carrying his toy rotary phone from one end of the house to the other, running down the hall to his room at church, or crawling up the stairs, he uses best forward speed. Although he will sit in your lap for a specific purpose, especially if you’re playing him a video of himself, he rarely wants to cuddle with you. There’s just too much other stuff to do! The only time is when he’s really sleepy, generally at bedtime. I put him to bed most nights. Our ritual is simple: bath (if needed), brushing teeth, new diaper, pajamas, prayer, song, and bed. Sometimes, if I’m lucky, he’ll be sleepy and relaxed enough during our song that he’ll rest his head on my shoulder and let go of all the tension in his body. I love knowing that he feels comfortable enough and safe enough with me that he can simply rest in my arms. Those moments are some of the most rewarding parts of being a daddy.
