Even though he will usually give my plenty beforehand, he says he gets teased if he hugs and kisses me when he says goodbye. It may be true, or it may just be that he wants to act all manly when he goes home with Daddy. Luckily Miss 8 still loves a kiss and cuddle even in front of her class and teachers. I know I've not got much more of that though...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596142995497292286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-90907749350733033112011-04-10T07:35:03.017+10:002011-04-10T07:35:03.017+10:00I may have spent quite some time staring at my 4-y...I may have spent quite some time staring at my 4-year-old boys sleeping face last night in absolute awe.

My eldest (4) has started not telling me anything, yesterday when I asked what she did at kindy she said: "Nothing". So I pushed, I almost grovelled: "Please tell Mummy, please". She replied "Pop-offs". <br /><br />I am soaking in as much cuddling baby time as I can with my third.

Mr10 only won't let me near him in public, at home he's all over me (and way too big for my lap, I must say!!). Miss4 would sit on me all day happily too. Except for breaks for dancing and drawing.<br /><br />Miss2 is the one who occasionally gives the "No hugs for you!" out. But other times she'll want to sit and cuddle for hours too. As long as she can play the iPad at the same time. In fact, if DS or DD come for a cuddle, Miss2 will come running across the room yelling "Nooo! MY mummy!!". Bit creepy really.macsnorkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873376096076955646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8774807226689612975.post-13366031255770820912011-04-08T12:54:58.763+10:002011-04-08T12:54:58.763+10:00When I steal a kiss from 4 year old Boy-Who-Asks-Q...When I steal a kiss from 4 year old Boy-Who-Asks-Questions while he's asleep, he still wipes his face without waking!

No, you're right, nothing sweeter than a sleeping child. <br /><br />Jack has gone the opposite and is hell bent on giving me at least 20 consecutive kisses in a row when I leave him at kindy.

I remember when my boy did it, I was devastated. I kept trying to get him back, but in the end he said to me "mum u know that saying, if you love something set it free, if it comes back it's yours ... That's what you need to do". That kid is wise beyond his years. He needed some time on his own - now he's back and as loving as he ever was as a little boy. Kids.
