this evening's solemn work:

cuddling a small girl in fire truck pajamas who is too sniffly and coughy to stay asleep on her own without frequent doses of cuddles.

I had a similar duty last night, and I did think, at some point, that there are worse things in the world than having to go up a flight of stairs occasionally to try to convince a small kid to sleep, when that small kid has learned that there are a number of tactics she can use to convince me to stay, like throwing her arm over me, telling me she loves me, and asking me to rock with her.

That sounds a lot like my night, only instead of telling me she loved me, she just threw her arm around my neck and clutched me and sighed, "mama. mama mama."

That sounds supercute. Of course, we'll need a photo of her in firetruck pajamas to be sure.

my cat thrusts herself under my arm to go to sleep. and she wakes me up by insistently licking my face. i mean, that's not the same. but it's cute.

also, a little girl i didn't know, with huge cute braids, asked me for a hug in kinko's the other day. then she upped the demand to a kiss. still not the same thing, but still cute! and all (apparently) because i had explained to her how to use the scanner.
