mommy, don't leave me.

Lately, Quint has been wanting more cuddle time at bedtime.

The kicker is after I spend some time tucking him in, and I get ready to go, he says:

"mommy don't leave me"

It is probably manipulative to avoid going to sleep, but it works. Most nights I will lay back down with him, for a bit longer. My motivation is not to keep him happy, but rather to

Soak it up, this will not last forever.

So tonight, bed time may take a bit longer, but its worth it.
