Magic Kisses

This morning began like any other.... we sat down for breakfast and talked about our dreams and what we want to do during the day. Jason is always full of great stories. Every morning he talks about his dinosaur dreams. Most of his dreams are the same. The only thing that changes on a daily basis is the color of the the dinosaur and the size. In his dreams the dinosaurs always play and make loud noises. While we discuss Jason's dino dreams, Jake feeds the dogs a good portion of his breakfast (the dogs love the fact that we have kids for this very reason) and jabbers in his own language about his dreams (that is what we assume since he copies everything else Jason does).

After breakfast we get dressed, this must be after breakfast since Jake gets so messy when he eats. Jason has started to pick out his own clothes so his combinations can get quite interesting. While Jason gets dressed and I get Jacobs clothes out, Jake eats Jason's socks..... this is a moment of drama every morning. Jason has a breakdown and Jake laughs. It will be sad when this little tradition is eliminated from our routine.

If it is warm we go outside after we are dressed, but this morning we weren't so lucky. It was quite cold so we went into the living room to play and wait for the sun to warm everything up. Now this is where the kisses thing comes into play. It is unavoidable, when we start to play one of the boys will get hurt. This usually involves some sort of bump to the head. On average, every other day there is blood. The blood comes from an injured lip most of the time, but there is the occasional scratch. This morning Jason was playing with Mae and they got a little too wild. Mae ran into the dining room and as Jason was chasing her he tripped on a dog toy and hit his head on the fireplace. This resulted in a lot of crying, that is until the "Magic Kiss" came along. I kissed the huge knot on his head and it was like an instant cure. The bump is still there, but the crying stopped and the tears and the sad face was gone. Even when one of the boys has blood dripping out of their mouth due to a tooth gouging their lip, a kiss can cure it all.

This is just the beginning of the day and we have already had one injury that needed to be cured... I am sure there will be many more by the time Colin gets off of work. It is a good thing there is endless supply of "Magic Kisses" here. Only if we could bottle them for those times when mama isn't around.

I hope all of you are having a wonderful week. Take care.......... Now back to playing.
