I love Hugs!

I'm getting a lot of hugs these days and loving every one of them! My little three-year-old grandson is now being potty trained, a feat he has showed absolutely no interest in until very recently. His sister, who is also three, has been trained for some time now; I suspect she may be part of the incentive for him. The real incentive, however, is a chart that his mom designed which provides a small reward for him after he receives a specific number of stickers, each given after a successful trip to the bathroom. When he is away from home, the number is kept so that the correct amount of stickers is applied to the chart. The great part of this is when he is at my house and he uses the bathroom, he will run back up the hall shouting that he used the potty; then, with his arms outstretched and his dimples shining, he runs into my arms for a great big hug! I love it!! I know that Mommy will be happy when it is all over,but, as for me, I will miss the celebratory hugs!! Hmm...I need to come up with some other way to keep those hugs coming!
