Well, today was a parenting "first" for me. I embarrassed my child! I walk Raychel in to her class every morning, and every morning I ask for a kiss before I leave. This morning two of her peers (who happened to be cute little boys) were in the classroom. I said, "Ok, bye, Roo! Gimme Kiss!" She shook her head no, and looked at me like I was an alien! Mortified and shocked that I would actually kiss her in front of people! I quickly deciphered her "look", and just asked for a hug. She reluctantly obliged. I felt bad that she didn't want to kiss me, but I felt even worse that I had unintentionally embarrassed her. Oh well, I am sure that this is the first of many "I-can't-believe-how-humiliating-my-mother-is" moments. Thank goodness Cecilee captured this picture...proof that Raychel used to love my kisses! 2005

So grown up and beautiful! 2011

that is so cute I love it! I kiss Ethan at the bus stop every morning not even thinking that is probably embarrasing. I guess I should stop. i hate it when they grow up.
I embarass the boys so often, I've stopped noticing. HA! I guess I might as well enjoy it now, because I know I won't be able to pull that when they are older.
I totally remember that picture! Isn't that the sweetest? I can just feel the little soft, wet kiss.... That is why I LOVE pictures! It just takes you right back to that moment that would normally be lost forever. Thanks for reminding my of that.
What a sweet, grown-up girl picture. Love it!
