Bodies

It is funny to think about your child growing up. Right now he still wants to be in almost constant physical contact with Eric or I. He doesn't have any ideas about personal space, and regards our bodies as his own, he feels free to touch us, pat us, lash out at us, snuggle up to us, or in my case, nurse, as if we don't have separate bodies but are extensions of each other.

It is funny to think about how this will slowly fade away as he gets older. It has already done so, some, and will continue to. There will be a time where he and I will think it inappropriate or weird to snuggle up to me as he does (especially since right now he is fond of snaking one hand into my bra). And there will be a time where he will no longer have sweet baby skin to caress on his back or tummy and I will not be able to give him all the kisses I want, while he giggles for more.
