Family Hug

Mornings are hard for Sven - especially, when I leave for work before he is fully awake. But one ritual we have, that seems to make it easier for him, is family hug. It is something that Sven started - the three of us stand at the doorway, and wrap our arms around each other in a big hug.

Erik and I never did family hugs growing up, so I was wondering if other families did it. Apparently some kids demand family hugs on a regular basis. Perhaps its innate. Maybe kids like the feeling of the family bonding together.

Whatever it is, its a great way to start the day.
