Love, Isaac-style

So many things I used to wonder: when will he say "Mommy"? Will he ever say "I love you"? Should I let it go?

Things come.

All of a sudden, kissing is quite popular.

Isaac opened his eyes this morning, leaned over, smiled and planted one on my cheek.

"Kiss on the cheek," he said.
"Kiss on the forehead." Another kiss.
"Kiss on the eyes." Another one.
"Kiss on the glasses." A pair of small, pursed, lips appeared in my field of vision.
"Kiss on the nose." Grin.
"Kiss on the pick-your-nose!" He moved his nose close to mine. Wiggled it around in an effort to insert it into my nostril. Giggled.

I'm pleased to tell you he was unsuccessful.

Later, Beata took Isaac to speech therapy, after which he requested a snack, so they went to the grocery store and she bought him a bagel. Then she suggested that they get something that Mommy and Daddy might like. Isaac immediately took off toward the cookie aisle and picked up a box of madeleines: our first gift from our son.

I got home tonight to find the madeleines on the counter, with a post-it in Beata's handwriting. "Remind me to tell you about these cookies. Have a great weekend."

In-deed.

I'll bet those were the best Madeleines you've ever tasted.

Amazing, isn't he? What a little love...

[Niksmom]

Oh I LOVE his style! Yes, I think he and Nik could be related somehow. I'm still asking for the kisses and we have not words yet but the willingness and zeal with which Nik presses his little lips to mine...sigh.

Oh gosh, kiddo, he's right on time with this. Oedipus rules.
