Kisses

Kyle and Owen both love to hold Meera close and kiss her on the lips. She loves it. They kiss a lot. Their eyes are locked. Their kisses are wet and slippery and sooooo full of love. We know we shouldn't let our 4 year olds give our 9 day old gooey slobbery mouth-to-mouth kisses. We know about germs. We know about saliva. Yada yada yada. But we can't help it. It is just too much of a sweet and innocent and loving and intimate thing between them -- we don't have the heart to stand between them and cut it off. So, we run the risk of germ spread. We're willing to take the risk. Ironically, we insist that K & O wash their hands each and every time before they hold her-- LOL!

That's precious, Heather. Good thing you're breast feeding. Braydon and Sabrina never got sick while they're were totally breast fed.

The kisses are worth the germs and besides breastfed babes are well protected.

Congratulations! She is beautiful. And I think the kisses are great! Exposure to brother germs boosts immune system. ;o)
