Totally agree with qsmom. We are the "give nan a kiss, give pa a kiss, give aunt x a kiss" kind of family. Also, my 13 yr old LOVES when the 2 yr old kisses him. They are very affectionate.....PLUS, if you can get the 2-3 yr old age range to kiss you, you are special, especially if they WON'T kiss someone else.

For a long time, my S would kiss Pa but not Nan. Pa loved it. It became a "who can get S to kiss them today" game and it may have been what these two boys were doing with your Sam. If one asked for a kiss and he gave it, the other one had to also to see if Sam liked him too.

If it bothers you, just talk to the boys. You could tell them that you are worried about them passing germs back and forth with face kisses and ask them to teach Sam to "give them five" instead. You could even encourage a fun silly handshake that they all have just between them--like a secret club. You could explain that you are trying to teach Sam the difference between "good touch" and "bad touch" and don't want him to be kissing everyone. It may open up some dialogue that will give you some more insight into where the kids are coming from.

I wouldn't panic just yet. I doubt you are leaving them unsupervised and I would follow the advice of others and not let him play anywhere other than his own home until you feel comfortable with it.
