Frith O’Steen

Decker likes to wake up rather early, and that means of course that I will then need to be awake as well. Being awake and being upright are two separate things, and so the compromise we have reached is for me to get him some juice and then he lays on the sofa with me while we watch Sesame Street. Until recently, Decker liked to stretch out on top of me and just kinda doze and cuddle. But the last few days, he snuggles in next to me (both heads on my pillow), and then reaches his little arm around my neck and pulls my head to his chest! It’s so funny - I don’t know if I am filling the role of a stuffed animal or if he just likes playing with my hair or what - but it’s very sweet, if not a little hard on the neck!
