Hi Honey,
I was thinking you might be wondering why I give you big kisses just about every time you get within a foot of my face. You might think I'm obsessed, starved for affection, or just don't have any self-control. Or maybe you think I'm a smooch monster, making smacking noises like a hungry zombie.
The truth is, it's one of my main jobs as a mommy to make sure you get your smooch quotient every day. The same law applies to why I pat your cute butt, give you big hugs, or tell you I love you. You need all that stuff to be a happy-well adjusted baby, even if you'd prefer your affection meted out in cookie and banana form.
Also, consider this: you get a new layer of skin about once a month, so all those kisses I gave you last month don't even count anymore! You need a good, thorough smooching every day to keep up with all the new skin you're making.
Last, but not least, pretty soon you're not going to let me smooch you as much as I do now, I'll have to chase you, pin you down on your bed, and kiss you quick while you try to wriggle away. And when you're a teenager? Forget about it! So I gotta get these kisses in while I can. It may seem like a lot now, but spread across your first eighteen years, it's just a drop in the bucket.
I love you a million, thanks for putting up with me.
Mom
