Kisses

When Mom and Pop picked Mercer up at school today, we promised him we could all sit outside on the steps when we got home, which he loves. But before leaving, Mercer gave two girls kisses on the cheeks and lips. Hugs were also administered. He lifted his hands, palms upwards and said, "I gotta go now. I'm going to go sit on the steps!"

kisses to pass.

just a quick note to say that mercer is learning how to give kisses on demand! if he's cuddling or closeby, (never if he's playing or keeping himself busy) mom and pop can say "give mommy/daddy a kiss" and he leans right in. so cute.

we know that the poll has been closed for some time now, but pop has been really busy lately. mercer's favorite dinner snack changes from week to week, it seems. his first favorite was peas, but he's gotten bored of that. carrots are definitely not his favorite, but a new front runner has emerged: turkey dogs! he can't shove these down his gullet fast enough!
