Butterfly Kisses

There are certain special things we wait for in our lives. Moments, feelings, milestones, events... first kisses. Yes, first kisses. I have been hoping and praying for 4 years that my daughter would some day be able to say to me..." I love you mommy" , to be able to reach out and give me a hug or to lean to me and give me a kiss. Well...I know first hand that dreams do come true. Elle gave me a first kiss a couple of days ago !!! It was with intent, it was not a reaction and it was all for me...my little butterfly kiss. I was filled with joy over this little person placing her open, wet lil mouth on the side of my face. It was the best kid kiss ever!!! All I have to do is say "kiss?" and she lays one on me. I will say that I certainly took full advantage of that today. I must have gotten 12 kisses. What?...Practice makes permanant :-) This is just another example that elle has the ability to learn and do more. I think we'll work on "hug" next :-)
