I love morning snuggle time with my babies. Even though they are now much bigger than babies and in our full-size bed, snuggle time is *very* cozy. And if it’s a weekend and all four of us are in the bed at the same time, it gets a *wee bit* uncomfortable. I still love it! I love those tiny, warm-as-toast, sleepy bodies smushed up next to mine. I love little arms and legs flung over mine. I love little hands lovingly patting my cheek.
But there is one thing I don’t love about our morning snuggles.
Both of my children’s RAGING, vile morning breath.
I know, we all have it. But really? Cute, cuddly, warm-as-toast, fresh-from-the-bed little kiddos just shouldn’t.
But mine do. Neither of them will go anywhere near mint toothpaste, and their favorite Colgate Watermelon, while keeping their teeth lovely and shiny, is NOT doing much for the stankous smell that comes out when they press their little faces close to mine in the mornings!
The warm morning snuggles are still worth it of course…but if we want to keep it up, I might soon be needing a Mommy Morning Gas Mask!
What’s your favorite (or least favorite) thing about morning snuggles with your kids?
