Wiping Off Kisses
Y’all. Reynolds has started wiping off my kisses.
And I’m a little heart-broken. {read: my heart is crushed into a million pieces}
They’re not gross. Or slobbery!!! AND I don’t even leave lipstick marks on his face!!!
What is this about?!
He, of course, thinks it’s funny, probably because I’m always on the verge of tears when he does it. So I guess I should start laughing about it even though bits of me are DYING inside!!!
If he doesn’t wipe off my kiss he’ll say sweetly, “Momma, I didn’t wipe off your kisses.”
Gosh, thanks son. I NEVER wipe off YOURS. In fact, I CHERISH them because I know one day you will roll your eyes and think me a complete moron or even worse, a terrible mom.
So last night, we were cuddling in his bed, reading books and talking. I kissed him on the cheek and he moved his hand to swipe his cheek but instead, looked up at me with those enormously bright blue eyes and said, “Momma, I not wipe of your kiss. okay?” And then he smiled.
I laughed a little and said “Oh. Okay, thanks.”
It’s funny how those little things mean so much to me…but it makes me think that he’s going to be so big so fast and certainly these little moments don’t last forever…
And soon enough he’s going to be making THIS face when I give him a kiss.
So which is worse, the wiping or the annoyed face? 😉
Happy Friday friends…may you love giving AND receiving kisses.
PS…how appropriate is it that his shirt refers to him as a “Heart Breaker” for these pics?!
We felt the same way when Gresham started doing that! He still does it every once in a while…..heart just drops until he starts smiling
Sweet mom of my sweet girl, just teach him that he’s not wipeing (sp) them off, he’s rubbing them in! That way he’ll feel like he’s done his little job of wipeing it off, but you’ll know in your heart that all those kisses will be rubbed into him to last his whole life. Eventually he’ll come around and you’ll be getting unexpected kisses from him. Ummm, that you will rub in, btw!
