kisses

Ada has been watching the our daily morning routine now for almost two years and she knows that after Elliot gets us set in the car, he shuts her door and then gives me a kiss goodbye. This varies some, but that is the routine 90% of the time. Well, Ada has now decided that she wants to be more involved in this part of our daily routine. The other day as Elliot leaned into the car to kiss me goodbye Ada declared, "I want kisses". This was funny enough all by itself, but then we looked back and she was sitting there, strapped into her seat, leaning forward, head tilted back, eyes closed, and lips pursed waiting for a kiss. We tried not to laugh too much and Elliot of course obliged with a goodbye kiss.

This was just the start of Ada's kissing frenzy. She will now decide that she wants kisses just about any time of day. And if she is around Elliot or I and she wants a kiss she will grab a hold of our cheeks and bring our face down to hers and once again declare, "I want kisses!".

Yet another tale I am tucking away for the days when she wants nothing more than to pretend that she is an orphan roaming around the streets of San Diego with nothing as embarrassing as PARENTS to hold her down.
