She does not, in fact, kiss her mother with that mouth.

I've been teaching Eleanor to give kisses, because it's about time she learned to do something useful. She is equally profligate and stingy with them.

Susan gets kisses.


Mirror baby gets kisses.


The tiny baby Shrek doll at the optometrist gets kisses.


This piece of toast gets kisses.


The dinosaur and the sheep kiss each other.


But if either Joel or I wants a kiss, we have to go through a whole complicated rigamarole of kissing whatever she's holding, and then maybe she'll kiss it, and then maybe we kiss it again, and then MAYBE we get a kiss from the baby.

Worth it, though. BABY KISSIES!

I love you, blogger I have never met.

The daycare is trying to teach J to blow kisses. It's, uh, not going that well - she gets her hand up to her mouth and won't follow through. I'm determined to make this happen, because: BABY KISSES!

So my story = I totally feel you.
