I SO wish I had video of this, but alas, I'll do my best to convey it through words. Last night we went to the airport to pick up Mike from his trip to Guyana (more on that later!). First, we were getting some looks on our way in because of our "Welcome Home, Dad!" sign, and basically anytime you're out in public with more than a couple kids you're bound to get attention (my four + my niece, my sis-in-law, and myself). As we were approaching the common area outside where passengers exit from the terminal, Jackson just starts running at people with his arms open and giving out hugs. He kept going and they all loved it! He spotted the people that he had noticed in the parking garage with a sign and balloons and went over to them - they ended up giving him a balloon (he didn't ask!). Then people started coming out of the terminal and he was giving out hugs left and right. Everyone was getting a kick out of it, and I was just cracking up. Finally Daddy came and he could run up to him and give him a big hug. :) And then he was happy to see Grammy and Papa, and Uncle Eric and Boden who had also been on the trip.
This really reminded me of my last visit to my grandma in the nursing home and how the residents there were getting such a kick out of him. Well, now we found another way to spread a little joy - free hugs at the airport from a cute two-year-old! (Under close supervision of his mother, of course.)
