S is becoming an increasingly affectionate child. It's really delightful to be spontaneously hugged and kissed by this drooly little fellow. We've been able to get him to kiss people on command and he will kiss as long as it's someone he likes.

Our friend Kerrie brought 22 month old Natalie over for a visit last week. The toddlers played around each other well and followed each other around. I was in the kitchen with them and had my back turned. It was quiet for a while so I turned around to see what was going on. Low and behold, S the kissing bandit had his arms around Natalie and was planting a big wet one on her cheek! I guess he made a real impression on her because on the way home she kept saying, "I love S...I loooooove S..."

Not everyone is as impressed though. S tried the same on his friend Hugh but S was a bit too overwhelming and Hugh almost cried.

Maybe it's time to teach S how to blow kisses instead!
