little hugs

today, after storytime, a boy who is always very quiet and reserved but who has been coming to my storytime since january approached me afterwards with a book and wanted me to read to him. afterwards, his mother told me that he never does anything like that and that it was a huge step for him to approach me on his own and ask for a book to be read. then, he gave me a little hug and a kiss (with no prompting!).

last night, i got a hug (with no prompting and for no particular reason) from my favorite 2 year old friend.
