At the very start of 18month, A started giving sweet lip kisses. Can you believe it? It happened all of sudden, not exactly sure of the reason. That day, the older kids were away, so it was just A and me. We were sitting on the couch, relaxing, when Mr. A, quite suddenly, looked at me sweetly and with a big mischievous smile on his face, leaned over, with his mouth open, came to me and gave me a big kiss on the lip with no prompting whatsoever from me. Usually, even when we ask for kisses, Mr. A's response is either "ummm" meaning no or if we pretend to cry and be upset, the most he'll do is put his cheek next to ours or give you a hug. So it was a HUGE thing for him to do what he did.
After that first open mouth kiss, I had to teach him to do a proper kiss - close his mouth and put his lips together. Then he did it many times, very excited every time, like he just learned something new. We'd all clap excitedly after he came to kiss us with Mr.A clapping the happiest and just grinning from ear to ear. He kissed everyone in the family for THAT day. It was a very heart warming and sweet day.
Next day, he was back to his old self. No kisses, just cheek touches. :( But this morning, he kind of started again, after some initial reluctance.
I'm sure there's more to come. Love those sweet baby kisses!!!
