Pucker Up!

"Noah keeps kissing Ellie. She is liking it. She is kissing him back," was the first text we received from Noah's teacher this week. "They are into each other today. Constantly sitting on each other", was the second text. My response, "WHAT?!? He's in big trouble". Ben's response, "No, no, no, that needs to stop, I'm on my way!" For one, he's only 14 months old and it's way too early for those shananigans AND we NEVER get hugs or kisses. Noah is an incredibly sweet child however he is definitely not cuddly or affectionate. He's not really into being held (and hasn't been since he was about 4 months old), he doesn't want to be rocked to sleep and instead dives for his bed, he doesn't like to be soothed or cuddled when he's hurt or frustrated and he definitely does not give kisses--to humans. He loves animals and will kiss and cuddle on all the neighborhood dogs and all of his stuffed animals. Just the other day he was walking up and down our street and would stop, bend over and kiss the ground. I immediately asked for a kiss hoping to take advantage of what could have just been a kissing kind of mood. NOPE. I got the typical hand in my face followed by the head turn and pierced lips. BUT there must have been something magical to Ellie's kisses b/c this weekend we got our first lips puckered, Noah initiated smooches. Granted I'm 8 months pregnant but I may have gotten a little emotional. He also gave kisses to his Nona, his Nanny, his new friend Hannah, and his cousin Bella. That's a whole lot of kissin' for one weekend but we are loving those sweet little puckered up lips. Thank you little Ellie for showing Noah how it's done.

We are definitely looking forward to more sweet kisses from this guy
