Windmill

Of the 3 of my children, H has the largest need for physical affection. I'm all about cuddling but his definition of cuddling isn't exactly the same as mine.

I consider cuddling to be sitting next to each other, maybe under a blanket, and either telling stories or reading a book.

H considers cuddling to be more of a driveby event. 

For example, H has a tendancy to move all 4 limbs  in a circular motion while simultaneously doing a sommersault across my lap (picture 4 windmills tied together tumbling down a hill).  As a result I've been kicked in the head, jabbed in the abdomen with an elbow or knee, headbutted in the leg or hip, and smacked in the face with his butt.  

I love that he loves me and wants to be with me.  I also appreciate that most of the time he catapaults himself across me we are both unscathed.  I can't however express enough how important it is that he NOT do this when he is totally naked. 

You're cute dude, but you're not THAT cute.
