danieldwilliam | The Captain's Kisses

The Captain is a gentle and affectionate little boy. He likes to hold the hands of other babies and he tries to stroke the faces of his parents. I love this about him very much.

He is learning to kiss. So far he has grasped that you do kisses by putting your mouth on someone else’s face. He approaches his new found skill with gusto. His current method of delivering a kiss is to plant his face on your face, with his mouth open and hum. This causes dribble. The Captain also has a cold. This causes snot. The combination could be used to grease marine engines.

This morning he was particularly affectionate and gave me a five minute kiss. No exaggeration, five minutes.

Today I feel very loved by an elemental little boy.

Today, I am also going to invest in a kissing cloth.
