Move your keister meester, time to kickoff the letter of the day.
I could take the easy road and just write about my KIDS since that’s what my theme is. That’s all the other days, though.
I asked Crash last night what I could write about that begins with the letter K. As any child will tell you, K is for kangaroo. I could easily write about how they bounce and jump around the house like they were kangaroo rats. I’ve already shared a clip of Bang bouncing off a door.
Last year’s post is still fitting. In the honor of originality, I won’t use that one again.
I kissed DW good-bye this morning as she left to go to work. From the backseat a certain 4 year old hollers, “Stop that kissing!” I’m not sure why he was repulsed by kissing this morning. I kiss her good-bye every morning.
Wanna know a secret? DW and I kiss in threes.
1 for I
1 for Love
1 for You.
It’s kinda like one for me, one for you and one for love. Kooky right?
While kissing is all good and fun and healthy and a great why to gross out your kids, my favorite kisses happen in the dark.
After books are read, after the fan is turned on, after he’s all tucked into bed with the blankets pulled up to his chin (Bang likes to be cocooned like his father) I turn off his light and turn on his star frog night light. I lay down beside him and put my arm next to him. He likes to hug arms and hold hands when falls asleep. Then I kiss his little fuzzy head. He hates it and rubs it off, but I do it any way. Sometimes I give him a million kisses all over his head and he tries to rub them off. “You missed one” I tell him. “Where,” he’ll ask. “I’m not telling”. Then he’s off to dreamland to dream of whatever craziness 4 years old dream.
The big kid is slightly different. After we read and it’s lights out, I lay next to him and we chit chat for a bit. A lot of Friday’s “Go Ask Your Father” questions originate in this 5-10 minutes of darkness. The last question is always, “Will you scratch my back?” Of course I will. 5 minutes later he’s nearly asleep and twitching. I gently kiss the top of his fuzzy head and sneak out of the room.
DW gets her three after she’s all tucked in and I hear “I like head scratches.”
Such a sweet post!

Very sweet. About “K” – our school district for many years used a beginning reading program that had a picture and poem for each letter of the alphabet, to help new readers learn the sounds of the letters. Our oldest was furious that both the “K” and the “C” had the same picture and poem. She felt they were both cheated by having to share, and that some kids would never learn that “C” can make the “S” sound. It’s rough being a five-year-old.

I’m totally with her. K deserves it’s own picture and poem. And C does need 2 posters because it makes 2 sound. Very insightful of her!

Felix, for now, is totally into goodnight and goodbye kisses. He will go through a list. I absolutely draw the line when he asks me to kiss his butt.

Kiss your hand and pat his bum wih the kissed hand… kinda the same thing 🙂 That’s how we kiss bums. Good for a laugh if nothing else.

I think this is my favourite post. My oldest has grown out of kisses from his Dad, now they’ve moved onto magic handshakes that Mum doesn’t get to do (but Mum gets kisses, so I can’t complain) 🙂

I know there will be a day when kisses from dad aren’t cool any more. So I’m getting them in when I can. I like the magic (secret?) handshake idea 🙂

Thanks, Ann! If we don’t do a million kisses they all gt wiped off. Or we’ll do sticky kiss that can’t be wiped off. Bang hates those. 😉
