This morning Daddy asked Reid for a hug. She happily obliged and added a kiss for good measure. Then, she ordered me to give him a hug, too. Reid looks after her daddy’s cuddle requirements. Once I’d given him a hug, Reid leaned forward to draw us both into arms and said “my famee!” in a joyful tone. We’ve called these “family hugs” since Reid was just small but this morning was the first time that I’ve heard her say the word “family”. It’s an important word, don’t you think?
