You are so cute, and when your mother and I are at home with you in the evenings we have often tried to get you to kiss us back. But you will have none of it. We've kissed you and asked to kiss back by sticking our cheeks in front of your mouth. We've kissed a doll and then asked you to do the same. Both of these have ended in a sloppy wet disappointment nearly every time. Early on there were some instances we miss understood the wetness for a successful baby kiss, only to realize later you pretty much licked our faces. You mother was more bummed than I was - she's not big into having her face licked - trust me, I know.
One thing we noticed is that as we leaned in to crowd your space for a peck, you would often block our advances with a drop of the head - resulting in a headbutt. Niice. So at this point we have accepted that as a expression of love. And when I say good night to you downstairs as Mommy takes you up for bath and bedtime, I'll kiss you a couple of times, and frequently request a headbutt by initiating one with you. Generally you agree to the proposition and let Daddy have his small token of good will. Very nice of you. So while a smooch is not an option - at least we are being fed something to keep us complacent. And for, that we thank you.
Love - Daddy
