You know every house (or home) has its own 'thing'. Every family has its own saying or thing they do that is completely their own. We have the kissing circle. We started it with Noah a long time ago; maybe when he was a young toddler, about 1 or so. It kind of tapered off for a while but he has rekindled it with Jacob. Here's how it goes.
Imagine me holding Jaco. Noah stands really close in by my cheek. He tells me what to do.
Noah kisses my cheek, I kiss Jacob's cheek, and Jacob (with much slobber) kisses Noah's cheek. Right now, to Jaco, kissing is just opening your mouth real wide. He can do it and it's so cute when he does. We do the kissing sound (like how you call a dog I don't know any other way to break it down for you) and it's the craziest funnest thing ever. Noah loves the kissing circle. Ivan and I used to hold him in the middle and position ourselves so that one would kiss the one side of his cheek and while the one was doing that, the other was kissing the other side and we'd turn his cheek back and forth with our chins so we'd be taking turns. Hard to explain but it all started back then....crazy.
Noah will come up and just say, "kissing circle~!" and he is pretty sensitive so if I don't stop what I'm doing and do the kissing circle, he walks away with hurt feelings (oh Lord help me). I usually do stop what I'm doing because what Mamma wouldn't want to do the kissing circle with her boys! The kissing circle is loads of fun. :)
Crazy ranting and raving at this ridiculous time of morning. I should be wrapping Ivan's presents. Good Heavens. nigh nigh.
