This morning, as Parker and I were sitting on the couch, I looked over at him, and pursed my lips for a good morning kiss.
Parker hesitated, and replied, "Mom, I don't kiss girls! It's dicusting."
At that moment, my heart literally broke. I was saddened to think that my son was never going to kiss me again. I tried to come up with a quick argument, "But I'm not a girl. I'm your mom!"
He wasn't having any of it. So, I did what any self respecting mom would do.
I got up, chased him around the living room, sat on top of him, and kissed him a 1,ooo times all over his little face. "You will always kiss your momma. Even when you're 50."
"Okay. I will kiss you even when I'm 900."
That satisfied me, so I went back to reading my book, and Parker resumed watching his morning shows. A few moments later I heard a small voice, "Mom. Will you cuddle me?"
Of course! You don't have to ask me twice. Parker jumped up on the couch, and I shared my blanket with him...and I was never so happy to do so.

I can't wait until Wyatt is that age. But my feelings would be hurt if he told me no more kisses!
AWWWW What a sweet story!!!
How cute!! Oh, and I love your family picture that you posted on your blog. You are good looking family! :)
I dread when my boys grow up and don't want to hold my hand or hug or kiss me. I think we have a while till that happens though! At least I hope! I remember my dad making me hold his hand in the mall or I wouldn't get any new clothes! I was so afraid one of my friends would see me!
It's so rough. I'm telling ya.
Just wait...in a few years they won't even want to walk by you in public. And they'll demand their 'privacy.' It breaks a mom's heart especially. But, I hear from more experienced mothers that our sons will come back around during their later teens. And at that point, they re-realize their need for Mom! Hope we can hold out that long! xoxo
