Reassurance

Ben has a cold. So early this morning we took him into bed with us, and he snuggled right down between Jamie and me. He slept soundly. Around 7 a.m. or so I felt a light patting on my arm and looked over to see Ben, sleepy-eyed, looking at me. He then turned his head toward Jamie and reached out a pudgy hand to stroke Jame's cheek. And then he closed his eyes again, content. Slept for another hour. He just need a little reassurance.
