The softer side of Mr. Independent

Even though he's wanting to do more and more on his own, little Milo still loves many, many hugs a day. So we spend a lot of time doing this:



But sometimes he still wants more... so he takes them as he can get them. As long as he can reach Pete's or my shirt, that apparently works as a "hug." Thumb goes in, and he's happy as a clam.

Sometimes he holds on like this and follows me as I walk around. The other kids all laugh when I say "I have a tail!" I love my little "tail." I'll be sad when he doesn't want to do this anymore!
