  • Our 8 year old is still into a good hug.

    My wife hasn’t been able to lift him for a couple years now, but I can still carry him in from the car if he falls asleep on a late trip home. He grabs on, and I know these days are numbered, but I’m determined to carry him as long as we can both manage it.

    But yes, it’s so fun watching their sophistication and responsibility develop, and become a reader, and even doing math in his head while he learns Pokémon (which I was too old to ever bother with, but am learning to build a deck with him now, even though I’m pretty sure he’s stacking his against me).
