Maxie, You're My Best Friend

So last night when we were headed to bed and Max was trying, as usual, to worm his way into my bed "for a quick snuggle" he told me we were "best friends forever".  Some days his closeness to me is exhausting but having such a sweet little BFF sure makes up for it! If only it were true... I'm hoping boys don't go through that "I hate mom" phase teenage girls are so fond of. And of course, if he could skip growing up and getting married that would be great too. For now I'm trying to remember to hold on these sweet little boy times, I know how fast they fly by! Trying to take time and give him that quick snuggle when I just want to go to bed can be harder than it should be, especially after spending all day every day with him (usually wrapped around my body in some way, literally!) I know I'll miss it when it's gone. Even though there will come a time (sooner than later!) when video games and even yucky girls trump mom, Maxie will always be my best friend forever.
