K = Kisses

I came across a post yesterday about kissing your kids on the lips - do you?  Or don't you.  I do.  I love kissing Jacob's little cheeks!  And I love, Love, LOVE when he wants to kiss me.  I'm so afraid of the day when he won't, that I take advantage of all the kisses I can get!

In this post, she talked about children who were kissed by their parents grow up to kiss their children.  It's true!  I don't remember much about being a child but, I do remember standing at the top of the kitchen stairs to kiss my mom goodbye when she left for work and the taste of her lipstick on my little lips.  I don't remember kisses from my dad, I'm not saying he did or didn't it's just been so long that I don't remember!  I also remember hugging and kissing my sisters from there too.  Mostly Karen and I'm pretty sure on the lips...

I have to share this before I forget.  Jacob's new favorite song is Thompson Square's - Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not and every time they sing that main line, Jacob runs over to kiss me!  He may hate me one day for telling this but, it's too cute too keep to myself.

Jacob asks a lot about kissing lately.  He's concerned if I don't kiss Jeremy good-bye when we part ways in the morning.  It's not that I don't want to kiss him, just some days getting us out the door is about all I can manage and stopping to crook my neck and stick my head out the window does not appeal to me.  Nor do the chants "Kiss Him, Mom!".  I don't need an audience!

You wonder sometimes what goes through their little minds though.  If seeing me kiss Jeremy goodbye in the morning gives him just that little bit of security that his parents are together and do love each other-and him, I don't know.  I'm sure there are some divorced parents, some single parents and I know, in fact some kids that don't live with their parent(s) at all (I don't know the stats) but, I do wonder if that makes him question us.  Man, it's tough to be in Kindergarten!  All the kissing there is to worry about!  Whew!
