Kiss your children anytime they will allow you.
And when they don’t want you to kiss them – scoop ’em up anyway – and give them a big quick kiss on the cheek!
Anyway, today you turned 20 months old, H.
And tonight, just after your mom and I laid you down in your bed to sleep, and were saying goodnight, you made a “Mmmm” sound, and moved your head a few inches toward me.
I was not sure what you wanted, so I got down closer.
You did it again and then got up to get me.
I leaned in and kissed you on the lips and immediately after I did, you contently laid back down to go to sleep.
Oh, gosh.
You don’t need my heart. You already have it.
I love you.
