My kids are 4 and 6, and love to snuggle at bedtime! I've found that they go to bed much more quickly and easily when I've got them in the crook of my arm... I can tuck one under each arm and one book later, they are passed out!!
I'm sure they'll tire of the bedtime snuggles as they get older, but for now I'm gonna enjoy them.
Do your kids still snuggle at bedtime?

Yep! And actually LO2 just started this, DH usually does the snuggling though.

Yes my 4 year old has to fall asleep with us and my almost 2 year old still gets rocked to sleep every night. Sometimes it's frustrating but I know it won't last forever and we will miss it.

DS1 was never a snuggler when he was a baby, it seems like the older he gets the more snuggly he gets.
DS2 is still a baby so he's always down for snuggles!

DD is pretty snuggly unless she's distracted. DS is only two weeks so he's super snuggly by default

Oh yes... both are super snuggly. One is currently nestled up in my lap, the other is behind me playing with my hair (it's his lovey)...

Both like their snuggles at bedtime. DD is 3.5 and still needs a cuddle as she falls asleep.

My 3.5 year old likes to snuggle and read books before bed and especially likes snuggles before his nap when he's spent the morning at preschool. But once the lights are out he says, "go to bed, mom!" Or orders me out of his room.
My almost 2 year old would still sleep in my arms 100% of the time if I let him. I hope he will snuggle more than his big brother!

DS was never a cuddler or snuggler until VERY recently - maybe in the last month? He didn't like babywearing, being held, or fussed with since he was born basically. He's almost 19 months and its such a new thing for DH and I to get to experience now! He comes home from daycare and actually runs over and gives me a hug around my legs or wants to cuddle for a few minutes here and there. He also started reaching his arms up to be picked up and wants to sit on our lap or against our tummy when being read a book. Before we would just read to him while he wandered around playing with other toys and ignoring us. Lately, we've been snuggling together in bed before putting him down and he's been crying and clinging when we say its bedtime!
I wonder how he'll act when our new baby arrives in 6 weeks!

We're having a snuggly explosion in this house and I'm drinking it up! He'll say he wants to give me a hug sometimes and it melts my heart every time! We go to sleep with him holding one of our hands, usually mine.
