"Nigh Nigh" Kisses

When it's time for Brody to go to bed...we say, "Are you ready to go nigh nigh?" He immediately blows a few kisses in Mike's general direction (without looking) and runs towards the stairs. Without fail, every night Mike has to call him back to ask him for a hug and a zerbert. Then he releases the squirming toddler who races for the stairs that lead up to his bedroom. As we enter his bedroom, I say a little prayer with him, put him in bed, then blow him kisses and tell him I love him as I leave the room. Last night he was trying to blow me kisses thru the rails on his crib. So I bent down on my knees and gave him a kiss thru the rails (we both had to pucker our lips really hard to get them to meet)! He then went to the next rail and waited for a kiss. This went on until we had kissed goodnight between every rail on the side of his crib. It was so sweet...tears were flowing down my face by the time I walked out of his room! These days are so short and I want to savor every kiss!!!
