Man. My kids are just getting out of the hand holding stage. I love that they’re getting more mature, but I really miss those hot slimy little hands.
And oh so sticky
You don’t realize how slimy/sticky kids are until you have your own. Like, they’re clearly gross, but you don’t realize how gross.
You can explain hygiene to a four year old until you’re blue in the face and they’ll still turn around and chase a chicken nugget under the booth at a restaurant.
Mine is about to leave home for university. I really miss the hand holding days.
Oh for what it’s worth my eldest is long gone. Been through university, has a job, moved country and we still text and call constantly.
If you’ve put money in the friend bank, and it sounds like you have, then you’re about to be repaid.
Enjoy the next phase ❤️
