Zion loves to snuggle. His favorite snuggle position is his chest to my chest, head on my left shoulder, legs tucked under him and against my stomach, with his arms straight down at his side so my arms encircle all of him. He curls up his whole body so he can best mimic how he used to fit flat against me when he was a baby. But now his feet reach almost to my knees. I wonder how long he will pretend he is still a little baby curled up on my chest. I hope it lasts for a very long time.
Other nights I get high-impact snuggles. The lights are low and my songs are gentle - the scene is set for a relaxing snuggle time before bed. But Zion's snuggles are sometimes far from relaxing. He stands up as tall as he can on my knees before flinging himself down with a great thud into his favorite snuggle pose. His head whacks my shoulder and he laughs with delight. It's snuggling, boy style.
