Do as I say, not as I do!!


In general I disagree with the premise of not practicing what we preach. However, every now and then my mommy-hood-ness gives me license for things that I don't allow my children to do, for instance BITING!

The rule in our house is no hitting, no biting, and for pity's sake, keep your hands to yourself!!

Some rules are made to be broken. This morning I was standing in the kitchen and Jonas, my early riser, wandered all sleepy headed from his bedroom. He looked so deliciously rumpled that when he came over for his morning hug, I couldn't help but chomp on his neck a few times. There is something about the way that boy smells, tastes and squeals in protest, that makes my heart sing and my spirit feel light. Nuzzling him is the equivalent of drinking in all of his goodness.

On the off chance that you need permission, or motivation, let me encourage you to nibble on your children today, or someday soon, I guarantee it will make you and your child happy!
