When Ryan and I pick Gracie up from school, he runs up to the gate to wait for her and they give each other a big hug.  He is almost as tall and as heavy as her now.  She is quote upset by the fact that he runs faster than her and reminds Michael and me about that every so often. 

The other day Ryan came upstairs while I was folding clothes.  He gave me a hug and kiss and then went downstairs . This pattern repeated.  He’d come upstairs, give me a hug and kiss and go back downstairs.  On the final time, his hug and kiss were followed by him telling me to not go downstairs.  That little mess maker is one smart little cuddler.
