Kiss me Quick

Yesterday I was walking in the front door and Jared was anxiously awaiting my arrival. His little face was pressed tightly up against the window next to the front door. I quickly got down and pressed my face against the other side and kissed him "thru" the window. He thought this was a fantastic new idea and wanted to window kiss over and over. It got me thinking about all the kisses we give and get throughout the day.

  • Morning kisses- Usually occumpanied by morning breathe, but always welome and the only way to start a day.
  • Owie kisses- Sometimes the only way to soothe a screaming child. And if it's a big person needing to be mended of an emotional pain, a kiss is the beginning to healing.
  • Just because kisses- Most times these are the best kind, usually unexpected and always puts a smile on both parties face.
  • butterfly kisses/eskimo kisses- varies from the traditional lip kiss, but makes a great alternative when a child is booger ridden.
  • puppy kisses- I am not a huge fan of these, but my kids seem to enjoy the puppy tackling them with wet kisses.
  • Apologetic kisses- Usually these are quick and quiet from a child who has reason to be sorry, and wants permisson to continue playing.
  • Adult apologetic kisses - These can turn into bedroom kisses if your not careful!
  • Good night kisses- If planned and executed correctly, these can be calm and just the right preperation for a good nights sleep!

I am so grateful to have been brought up in a home filled with so much affection and love. It is vital for my children to know and physically feel that we love them, and that they can love us back, and all of it is purely unconditional.
