Remember when I said that I want Olivia to go to sleep without holding my neck
jillenecox.blogspot.com/2008/07/can-i-hold-your-neck.html? Well--I lied! Since we took away the binki (almost 2 weeks ago) she has been going downstairs with Zach and Hannah and falling asleep there. I realize now that she is my last baby and I want her to snuggle me and hold my neck. My heart is broken for that which I wished so hard for. I long for nap time (that is a thing of the past since taking away the binki) and bedtime, for her to climb up in my lap, snuggle in, and hold my neck while I rock her to sleep. I have a "tear in my beer" just posting about it! How I long to have my baby back--but then again I NEVER want to go through the H-E-Double Hockey Sticks, that I have been through since we took the binki away, again! Why can't I have the best of both worlds? (eeeewwww....I think that Hannah Montana has tainted my mind with her song lyrics. I need a good cleansing!)

I'm pretty sure that Hannah Montana is one of the horsemen of the Apocalypse.
Aren't you glad that you don't have kids? My kids LOVE her and because she dosen't say bad words or have too mature a content on her show I can't forbid them from watching it.
I did however forbid them from watching Zoey 101 when Jamie Lynn Spears got herself knocked up.
What a cute (now that she's not doing it, I'm sure) quirky thing to do. haha.. neck holding. I'm sorry that you miss her snuggles, though. I'm sure she'd let you hold her before bed?
Lately, I've been feeling the same way about weaning Peyton. Some days I really miss it. I just want him to be a tiny baby for a while longer.
You'll be good and she'll still find time to snuggle with you and your neck.
Every parent watching eagerly for all the firsts. No one warns you to watch out for the lasts. The last time they ask for a bedtime story, to tie their shoes, and before you know it, the last is gone and all you have left are the memories. Thank goodness the memories don't include the stinky diapers, pukey nights and sore nipples!
Okay, Jo, I don't care who are, that right there is funny!
Anywhoooo- it is true- and truly sad. My baby boy used to play with my hair when he was little little. It was the sweetest thing, and I swore I would never cut it as long as he did that. Well all of a sudden one day I realized he just rolled over and took naps without running his little tiny hands through my hair. I am pretty sure I cried for quite some time.
At least you have the memory written down- so you will actually rememebr it.
*sigh*
awwwww...that is so sad. i can totally relate to that! i have a hard time not treating my Emily like a baby, since there will be no more babies after her until my kids have kids!!! my sisters say i baby her too much. just because i still bathe her, dry her off, even dress her sometimes? tie her shoes? hold her on my lap even though she's almost as big as me?okay maybe i do need to cut the old umbilical cord. but noooooooooo. i don't wanna.....waaahhhhh
oh, and i agree with the hannah montana and zoe 101 crap! i hate to admit this, but i will- last summer we were out at the camp and it rained all day...well, there's not much to do inside but watch TV and there was a hannah montana marathon on. and i totally GOT INTO IT. i admit it, dang it. that was before all of the drama, nearly nude photos of her, etc. julian was talking really loud and i was like "SHHHH...." he was all "you're actually watching hannah montana? EWWW" my son was way cooler than me at that moment.
Hannah Montana? Never heard of it.
syke!
My little girl is also a sleeping neck hugger and I treasure each embrace except for when I forget to brush her teeth (which is about everyday) and her mouth is inches from my nose, eww.
Mary--
So glad that my child is not the only neck holder out there. I will agree about the breath--stankay! Liv got up on my lap this morning (thank goodness for small miracles) and did the neck thing and her breath was kickin' like day old chicken!
Katie--
I don't think that our kids are ever too big to hold and cuddle with! They might not fit as well as they used to but who the heck cares!
Ramona--
Love the hair thing! How sad that our babies have to grow up and leave us in the dust feeling neglected and all alone! (0:
I hate when they start to lose those things that are part of their babyhood an although you love seeing them grow up you long for those precious moments and wish you remembered the last.
Well not to brag or anything, but she held my neck on sunday when she sat with me. (ok, so it was only for 2 seconds, but it counts.)
It TOTALLY counts! She climbed up on my lap this morning after we took Hannah to school and snuggled and held my neck for about 10 minutes--it was a small miracle!
