Since becoming a Mum I get really emotional seeing other Mum’s with their children especially Mum’s with their boys. Watching tv commercials or reality tv I almost always end up in tears if there is a sweet moment between a Mum and her son.

I must admit the tears are worse now since I realised a few weeks ago that boys are different to girls … in more than the obvious ways!

When boys grow up they don’t seem to be as close to their Mum’s, they love them and care about them but they don’t hug or snuggle with their Mum’s. It really upset me to think there would be a day when Cooper wont want me to kiss him all over his face till he cried with laughter, or lay and snuggle with him as he fell asleep.

These thoughts really upset me and made me appreciate my own Mum a little more. I will try harder to give her more cuddles and affection and to remember I am never to old to hug her. That Mum’s love you no matter what and I am sure she wishes she could turn back the clock and spend one more day with my brother and I when we were still small enough to love rasperries blown on our belly and crazy kisses all over our face.

This past few weeks I have made sure I snuggle and nurse Cooper as much as I can and take it all in. As one day he will be too grown up for his Mummy’s cuddles and snuggles.

So until that day comes I am going to snuggle with him every chance I get, cuddle him and squish him, kiss him untill he cries with laughter and blow raspberries on his belly until he just can’t take it anymore. So I have no regrets when the time comes and they are all gone.
