This afternoon Uly discovered Love, I think. He's been very huggy with me lately and I'm just eating it up with a spoon. I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I've been hugging his stuffed animals a lot and giving them kisses with the intention of teaching him a good way to treat animals. He's been hugging them a lot, too, and asking anyone else in the room to share in the love.
But this afternoon was different. We sat trading off and hugging his lamb and rabbit--for about an hour--and during that time he had a few very emotional moments with them. He became so overwhelmed with the hugs and kisses that he literally wept, no fewer than 4 times, and twice he just laid on them both and sobbed into their fur. After a moment or so the emotion passed and we returned to our gentle hugs and kisses. It was weird and wonderful, and I'm so glad I got to be a part of that with him.

Tomi left off that she was singing "Marble Halls" in her perfect Enya-eat-your-heart-out voice, which certainly must have put poor Uly over the top (certainly makes my heart race). I also gotta admit, I came damn close to welling up just hearing this story from her on Saturday...
this is too wonderful...WHen Tomi sings, everyone weeps...it's soooo beautiful!
Ha, Gavin says "it makes his heart race" but that's not necessarily a compliment... :)
