Baby Kisses

S has recently realized he can express his emotions. There are pluses and minuses to his new found knowledge. A negative would be he learned he can vent his anger and frustration by throwing a fit. I'm not talking about a little crying, I'm talking about a full on, throw the body on the ground screaming fit. It would be pretty funny to watch if it wasn't my child! The pluse is that he know give kisses and hugs to show his love.

Anyone who has had a big hug from a little kid know there is nothing better. Kids don't hold back, they haven't developed and sense of inhibition yet so their hugs are tight and full of warmth and emotion. Believe me, a hug from a little guy can make any day better.

S' kisses, like his hugs, are full on no holds bar kisses. The only problem is that, like most 18 month olds, he doesn't know how to purse his lips yet. Instead of the traditional closed mouth kiss you get a wide open slober kiss.

A wide open, full mouth kiss with lots of tonuge and teeth was how I woke up this morning. R had brought S into bed with us before the girls were up, S was so excited to have mommy and daddy alone time he went back and forth between the two of us giving kisses and laughing. He was acting as if laying in bed with the two of us was the best thing ever. By the time the kissing fest was over my face was full of slobber but I'll take a wet wake up from S over an alarm any day.
