Even Big Boys Like to Cuddle

Today after I got home from work and the kids got home from school I had so much stuff I needed to do: clean the house, do laundry, edit transcripts, check e-mail, etc. I sat down for a minute in my rocking chair to decide what to do first and Carson came and sat on my lap and started to watch TV. I let him sit there and cuddle with me for a few minutes, and then I was tempted to tell him I was busy and he couldn't sit there anymore. But it felt good to have him sitting with me. He doesn't do it that often because he's getting so big. He is eight-years-old after all. So I let him stay and I just relaxed. He ended up cuddling with me for two-and-a-half hours. When he finally got up and went to do something else, my arm was hurting and my right leg was numb, but it was worth it.
