My mother always wondered what she had done wrong. <BR/><BR/>I'm better about the hug 'n release with family and close friends. But with little kids-bring it on. The little ones are so adorable... and your boys-well they always fill my love tank up so fast-they are adorable!!!!<BR/><BR/>Enjoy the moments:-)Knittinchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08635576596828605090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095061043716694119.post-31128959014502035342009-02-09T17:14:00.000-07:002009-02-09T17:14:00.000-07:00Oh how our kiddos stretch us.We in the Midwest are...Oh how our kiddos stretch us.<BR/><BR/>We in the Midwest are only sort of huggers. Some are, some aren't. So it's kind of a confusing thing. Most people here choose the side hug to avoid the confusion.Heather of the EOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14607422301391841377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095061043716694119.post-33663565922085189082009-02-09T12:24:00.000-07:002009-02-09T12:24:00.000-07:00I am a total hugger, but only with my family.

We are a hugging-bunch-o-fun down here!!<BR/><BR/>Yesterday at church I hugged each and every woman and child there. We don't hug men because that just isn't 'done' unless they are under the age of ten or part of your immediate or extended family.<BR/><BR/>But, we live for those hugs!!! And, my baby boy runs his fingers through my hair every moment he's near enough to reach it. If I have it in a ponytail, he does not rest until he's ripped (literally!) the ponytail holder out of my hair and it's down where he can reach it.<BR/><BR/>I'll try to keep the 'hug thing' in check if you ever decide to venture down south again! :-)Lady Whyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13216795813998217823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7095061043716694119.post-30489866415867330452009-02-09T06:14:00.000-07:002009-02-09T06:14:00.000-07:00You seem so, so upset.
