Baby Kisses

There are a few things that I look forward to in parenting more than the kids reassuring me themselves that I am doing an okay job of this.

It comes in the strangest ways: Stinky hugging and kissing me telling me he'll take care of me when I am sad or sick, Princess looking out for her siblings, now Peas kisses. She throws herself into me wraps her arms around me and kisses.

These are not neat little check pecks these are open mouth giggle infused head bonks that are the essence of her love and affection- the love and affection that we have showered on her reflected back.

So thank goodness for Peas kisses
