Kiss It and Make It Better

So I have the sweetest little son ever, let me tell you. Seriously, I don't know how this little gentleman is in any way a blood relation of mine or my husbands as I don't know that I've ever heard either of us described as a sweet child.

You know how you tell a child you'll "kiss it and make it better?" Well, what's really even cuter than when they ask you to do this, is when they make the offer in return. I've been sick this week and being sick on top of pregnant again has not been a blast. Each day I've been asking my son if he'd kiss mommy's head to make it better (major sinus infection) and he so sweetly complies. Well, today I forgot to ask and dropped him off at daycare in a rush to get back home to sleep off this virus. Our routine is that he gives me a hug and a kiss, a "shove" out the door and then waves to me from the window. Today, as I'm walking back to my car I hear a shout from the babysitter's still open doorway as William is still standing in it while two other boys arrive.

I hear this, "mommy! come back! another kiss?" I can't resist his little face and go trudging back up the driveway and as I crouch down, he hugs me and says "i kiss it to make it better" and gives my head a kiss. Jesus! What this child does to me. He has no idea that just watching him sleep can reduce me to tears and this little act of love just sent me over. I drove home teary eyed and yes, feeling just a little bit better from the kiss.
