Kisses are the new hugs

     Over the last several months, a number of things have happened. I have changed my way of thinking and the way that I am dealing with all the changes. Samual has adapted more and more as I have made changes to help him cope better with our daily life and I honestly feel that finally understanding him is truly bringing us closer.

     Sometime around three weeks ago I was sitting on the couch watching a movie while Samual sat on the couch next to me. I see him struggling to get off the couch and run into his room. Seconds later Samual jumps on my lap laughing hysterically. He proceeds to climb on me and put his legs over my lap and grabs each side of my cheek and pulls my face into his. At first I thought he'd surely lost his mind as he rarely gets this close to anyone and he was still laughing hysterically. Suddenly he stops laughing and smacks his face into mine and begins to make a humming sound followed by pulling his face away again to laugh some more.

     Honestly, it took me a little longer than it should have to figure out what had possessed my son to do such an out of character thing. After the second time of doing his strange motions I realized he was giving me a kiss. I even began to chuckle a little as my silly boy was grabbing my face and pulling it to his again. As he gets closer, I hum as he does and then let out a rather loud "MUAH!" I seriously thought he was going to fall off of my lap as he threw himself backwards and laughed harder than I'd seen him laugh in ages. We continued this pattern 3 or 4 times more before he got bored and jumped off my lap to play in his room.

     Over the last several weeks hes begun to give kisses often, even kissing the neighbor girl at one point. Which I'm sure you can imagine I was mortified and laughing at the same time. My son the anti-cuddler has learned to kiss and he thinks he's so clever when he does it. Little does he know, it is the best thing ever for his mamma. I finally have a second of closeness with my son and he's initiated it.

Until next time,
