Today (and yesterday for that matter) Paige has been a bit emotional. Just easy to cry, crying for no apparent reason, increased need to snuggle, etc. I chalk it up to us being a bit more "go-go" than usual, mostly since nice weather offers so many more "go-go" opportunities. I felt like she was just having the need to veg-out. So, today we made a deal that when she got off the bus from school she could just have a snack and sit on the couch and relax, especially since it was supposed to start raining by that time.
So that's exactly what she did. That's right. She came home, had a snack and watched just over a solid hour of commercial-ladened Zack and Cody. Go ahead, American Academy of Pediatrics, call me. I back this decision 100% and I'm happy to say she was back to her cheerful self this evening! :)
Then, tonight I was reading to Will and he decided to give me one of his trademark "bear hugs." He was squeezing my face while simultaneously pushing back and the entire skin on my face felt as if it my slide completely cock-eyed. (You know, such that my left eye would be looking out of my right eye-hole). Really...it got scary strong like that and I realized that one day he will probably be stronger than me. And I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I completely agree with (and LOVE) the fact that you recognized Paige's need to just "be". We all need that from time to time. I used to feel guilty about a Sunday afternoon on the couch - afghan, movies and remote control. Now...not so much. If I need it, I need it, and parents sometimes fail to recognize that kids are just short people with the same needs as tall ones. You're the greatest Mom.
I'm glad your eye holes remain in tact. Or...do they? :)
