At our house we do hugging to the extreme, it is called squishing. It all started with Cameron. After arriving home from work Cameron would greet the children with a squish. He tackles them to the ground and then hugs them. (this also occurs if he just saw the kids after being upstairs for a while) In the beginning Rio would cry, so Cameron would have to cut the hug short. Now that we have 2 kids Rio enjoys ‘squishing’ because she can squish Krey too. (This is funny to me because Rio didn’t ever like to be squished but her Dad could not help it because she was so cute he just had to give her a very big hug.) Now that Krey likes to get squished by everyone, Rio likes it too; although she would rather be squished by Krey than by her dad. Here are some pictures of Rio squishing Krey (Rio’s favorite and what happens the most) and then there is a picture of both kids waiting for the other to squish them. I didn’t get a picture of Krey getting Rio because Krey is starting to bite and Rio has learned to quickly remove herself from a “Krey Squish”. But I did get a picture of Krey on Rio’s lap.
