lately lyla has been coming up to me at random times asking if she can hold me. this can pose a problem when i'm holding livie or trying to get something done that requires hands, so i've been encouraging her to wrap her arms around my leg - which, in a sense, is still *holding* me.
today, after having a rough night with flu-like symptoms, i was barely making it around the kitchen in my sleep deprived fog when her sweet little voice pleaded imploringly that she wanted to hold me. picking her up in my arms i held her close and she yelled triumphantly: "i got me!!!"
