Kisses

Let me start by giving some background information.

Makena gives and receives lots of kisses. Mark has started this game where he pretends to fall asleep and the only way to wake him up is for Makena to give him a kiss. In addition, Makena has taken to wiping off the kisses she receives so she can get more kisses and possibly some tickles.

Wake Up Kiss

Mark was on the sofa watching TV with Makena. He had a really tough week and ended up falling asleep. It's not too hard to guess what happened next. Makena climbed up on the sofa and gave Mark a really sweet little kiss and asked him to wake up and play with her. If you're going to be woken up from a nap, that's the way it should be done! :)

Wake Up Kiss.. From a Distance

Mark was rocking Kessler and Makena was playing. Mark closed his eyes to relax (still reeling from the tough week). Makena tries to convince Mark to come find her; she's hiding behind the bean bag. Mark doesn't immediately respond. You see the predicament she has on her hands now. If she gives Daddy a kiss to wake him up she'll spoil her hiding place. So, she starts blowing kisses at him then she ducks behind the bean bag.

Your Kiss Came Off

Our night time ritual has become a bit of a battle recently. Makena looks for any possible way to stall. Last night after Mark tucked her in and came to bed, she started crying. He went back to check on her. With tears streaming down her cheeks she says, "Your kiss came off Daddy... all by itself. It came off all by itself. I need anuber one."
