Sometimes we forget; at least I know that I do, how important it is to share your love freely and often. I scooped up Tucker this morning and smothered him with kisses and cuddles. If I had to guess, I would say that both of the babies get smoochy loving no less than 50 times/ day and that's a low guess. I had to think, how often do I smooch up Silas? And Gavin? Not very. It's not that I don't want to, it's just that we're usually short on time that can be spent with kisses and hugs. I don't hesitate one bit to smooch the babies, but sometimes I wonder if it's OK with Silas and Gavin to be loved on so randomly. The wee ones have no choice really. They can stay there and take it or else. The big ones have a little more say. It's sad that I have to remind myself to smooch my big babies. I guess as they grow older we forget that they need spontaneous lovin from momma and daddy too. So smooch on your babies today ... young and old!

Awwwwwwwwwwww...I smooch on both my kids all the time. Xander sometimes wipes them off. LOL!
Good for you for lovin' on your babies. I hope you get a few extras in for the big kids today too.
Very sweet!
At night I whisper to the wutz, "I could kiss you 1000 times a day and it would never be enough." And it is sooo true.
GIRL, I hear ya....I went through some similar thoughts a few months back and try try to give lots of smoochies. My oldest tries to pull away but I tell him that mommas ALWAYS get the kisses.
Awww, so true... thanks for the reminder. It's easy to "forget" to smother the older kids with kisses since they're so busy running around all the time...
You're such a good mama :)
