Daddy's Hug Tactics

Katelynn is not always the most cuddly kid. She wants to be carried around, but doesn't snuggle or hug too much. She has learned that mommy loves hugs and will say "Hug" in order just to get picked up - tricky girl!

Gene is a very affectionate person who loves to hug. He has been trying to figure out ways to get KK to hug him. Begging and pleading has not worked. Bribery has not worked. But recently he found something that worked.

Gene has many funny t-shirts, but his favorite is his Curious George shirt (pictured to the left). Katelynn pointed at his shirt and said "Monkey." Gene asked her if she wanted to hug the monkey, and she took the bait. She decided it was a pretty neat game, and showered her daddy with repeated hugs -much to his delight.

Now Gene wants more monkey t-shirts!
