Kisses

It appears as if collecting kisses from me in large quantities has become a game with Ellie. When I drop her off at Sarah's each morning she always needs to get the last kiss. But not just one kiss, she wants as many as I will give. Sarah taught her about kissing her 10 fingers. Ellie wants the 10 fingers and also wants to name other body parts requiring kisses - arms and elbows are where I've drawn the line. It's still quite a routine.

At night time, she likes to go through this kissing game, but also requesting additional hugs and kisses. She then likes to hug me in tight and kiss me over and over again until I finally make her let me go (meanwhile laughing at the craziness of the situation.) She really does have me in stitches by the time I leave. I'm not really sure the purpose of this game, but she loves to demand more of my time and kisses. I try to remember that in a few years I will be hoping for these moments and kisses.
