We're a family that likes routines. Routines make us feel safe, happy and loved. Well, Charlie and I like routines. Michael likes to fly by the seat of his pants. Anyway, as I tucked Charlie into bed last night, I leaned over for the customary hug and goodnight kiss. I
was surprised at his request. "Mom, tonight I need a hug, a kiss, a nose rub and a holla. Do you know what a holla is Mom?" I
cracked up! That boy is a riot! And holla we did. It's moments like those that remind me how special it is to be Charlie's mom.
