Holding Hands

William loves to hold hands...especially when he is tired. We started holding hands at bedtime around the time I quit nursing him a few short months ago. Lately, he will even interlock his fingers with ours-so sweet.


My Dad held hands with my brothers and sisters and me when we were little...

And, my grandpa (his dad) held hands with me a few times that I remember...

I thought my grandpa did it because he needed me to balance him when we went walking...

I thought my dad did it because he didn't want to lose track of us...

Now I know, that they did because holding a child's hand, and having them want to hold hands with you is the sweetest joy on earth.

Mitchell is obsessed with holding hands and it is such a sweet thing! How nice it is to have a child want to hold your hand and initiate it!
