Cuddle

Little E sure is a charmer at 16 1/2 months. On Monday he said the word "cuddle" for the very first time. He pulled at my heart strings as he walked over to me looking sad saying "cuddle" with his arms reaching up towards me. He had just trodden on his cousin for the countless time and made her cry (again for the countless time). Suddenly he realised he had done something to upset her, so he came over to the Mummy for comfort.

A few days later and he has already calculated the power of the "cuddle". Tonight, whilst he was half way through his night time bottle of milk, in front of his Bonne Maman and Great Aunty from Paris visiting for a few days, he stopped, lent over Great Aunt Paris reaching out his arms to me saying "cuddle". Of course I lent across Great Aunt Paris from the other side and we had our special moment (while squashed Great Aunt Paris offered to move). Little E then finished his bottle, had giggles and tickles with the Daddy, before once again asking for more "cuddle" from the Mummy.

Little E insisted on more "cuddle" with the Mummy, until the Daddy prized him away to give night night kisses all round before retiring to his bed to play with his toys before finally falling asleep about 8.30pm!

Sooooo majorly cute. Little E knows how to work his magic on the Mummy!
