Handshake, Hug, and a Kiss goodnight

Night after night, AA crawls into bed, only to crawl back out to find me, his father. With a pregnant wife, she seems to hit a wall around 800pm every night. This subsequently has become AA bedtime. However, he rarely stays in the bed for long. Over the last 2 weeks he has started getting out of bed and coming to me for his handshake, hug, and kiss. Sometimes the handshake is a high-five. This has become a ritual. I try to head him off by giving him all three as I tuck him in and after we say our prayers, but that is a futile action. AA seems so big when he shakes my hand but quickly is my little boy as he hugs my neck tightly and issues my peck on the cheek.
