Good grief! My youngest is turning 5 and I can't keep him off my lap! Matter of fact, he's sitting on me right now, dressed to the nines as a stormtrooper, begging me to put a "smilie" on the page...
This is complements of JD!
When my kids get hurt (which is CONSTANT), I don't do the whole "oh my goodness baby boy - are you ok?? smother smother" but I DO say "Hey bud - are you ok? I bet it hurts, huh?" and I'l take care of whatever needs to be taken care of - if it is a big injury, I will definately smother though
I don't know - my boys are pretty rough and tumble kids...but hugs and smooches are DEFINATELY a BIG part of our life too!
