Mothering Milestone

Dear Diary,

Saturday, for the first time ever, Max asked me not to hug him in public. "It's embarrassing, Mom!"

I knew this was coming, but I wasn't prepared for it to come quite so soon. I hugged him anyway. Going forward, I will respect his wishes and refrain from public displays of affection, however reluctantly.

He can't keep me from beaming love to him from afar, though!
