Cozy Afternoons

I needed a little afternoon pick-me-up after a day of snuggling on the couch with my daughter. We both have colds and have started to feel better, so as she plays I decided to have a cup of coffee and do a little reading.

Wondering if my child is the only one who uses a parent as a tissue instead of using the actual tissues that are a foot away? Whenever she has a runny nose, I know I need to wear a sweatshirt that I don’t care about. No matter how much I try, she still grabs hold of my sleeve and wipes her nose. It’s no wonder I got the same cold she did. I’m hoping this is something she will grow out of….until then, I will continue to move the box of tissues next to her, hoping she will grab one before she uses my clothing.

Even with all the snot running down her face, she is the most beautiful thing to me, and I tell her that every day in hopes that she will always believe it.
