Scott taught Sawyer to kiss.
It had never occurred to me that you had to 'teach' kissing. Maybe I'm just not Betty Crocker enough or something.
So, for a while there, Scott was the only one getting Sawyer kisses, or so he said. It was all fairy tale legend as far as I was concerned. Everytime he tried to show me - nothing. My kid doesn't perform on demand.
So, it struck me as odd when Sawyer came up to me recently while I was sitting on the floor with him, put his face very close to mine and started going "mmmmm."
My first reaction was to lean back: 'Dude, you're in my space. I need at least three inches and I can feel your breath.' (Definitely not Betty Crocker enough).
But - hit me over the head with a frying pan - I suddenly realized that Sawyer was trying to kiss me.
I leaned forward and pecked his pursed little lips. He followed up with the obligatory "mwoa" kissing sound and trotted off happily, leaving me in a melted puddle on the floor.

aw... it's the best! my parents taught clara to kiss when we left her with them for a weekend. i had the same reaction as you... "what the hell???? oh, i get it now."
kisses are the best. hugs too. i have to beg addie and she still only doles them out when she chooses. i guess that makes them extra special.
Oh. That is so sweet. There is just nothing else to say about it. I can't wait until the first Libby kiss!
Good for people to know.
