My Son Kisses Like He's a Dog

D Bear gave me honest-to-goodness real kisses just now <3!!!

He usually just licks my cheeks or gets his lips really wet and drags them across my face. If you think that sounds gross, you haven't felt the loving gaze in his eyes as he preciously slobbers all over you - they're the best kisses.

This is a happy step for us! He's learning more and more every day, and I must say, as much I adore his saliva on my forehead, I'll take the new and improved smackers, too.

I'm off to bed a very happy, properly kissed mommy.

Shennanigans With Gluten

Day two of D's gluten free diet. I have nothing to report except for that I am surprised at how convenient gluten free shopping is these days. I have a special aisle in my Publix full of allergen free goodies, and none of them suck!

So far, the animal crackers, vanilla cookies, waffles and puff cereal bars have all been a big hit! Plus, I'm learning that there are tons of things that he already eats that are naturally gluten free, like gummi bears, fruit snacks and yogurt.

I wasn't a huge fan of the bread I tried, so I'm going to try and make my own. We'll see how that goes since I either burn or really burn everything I cook.

Of course, Tink is a big fan of all of D*Bear's new snacks too. That girl would eat rocks.

In other breaking news, I kicked my husband's bootay in ski-ball today at the mall. The kids looked on in awe as I demonstrated my masterful technique and then triumphantly wrapped all the prize tickets around my neck. They were so proud of me.

J, of course, thought the machine was rigged and not scoring properly. Whatev, clown shoes. I am the one who is rigged. With talent.

Off to flex my arcade muscles and see about getting a snack loaded with gluten and fat.
