A phrase my dad has always said to the grandchildren, simply to tease; Chrissie now refers to him as the "silly papa."
And now I catch myself saying the same thing to my own kids when I see their cute cheeks, I can't help saying "where are my kisses?!" which makes them run and then I tackle them to the floor and smother them with kisses. (I also can't resist patting their cute naked buns, which is why Matthew now chases Chrissie, when she is in the nudity, trying to pinch her buns).
And when I see this picture of Matthew with his cheeks full of food and pink paint in his hair, I just want to tackle him and kiss those cheeks.
And in case you are wondering, he is not a girl. (Not that you were. But I thought I would clarify). Despite the comments I get all the time, which I find humorous, however, Rick has yet to see the humor. The other day, Rick came back from a regular Home Depot trip with the two kids and told me to please buy Matthew a football shirt or something because two people commented on his "two girls"....apparently that was the last straw for him. I told him I think its Matthew's hair (which I refuse to buzz, despite the constant pestering of my family), but, you see, Rick is never home long enough or early enough to help me cut Matthew's hair. And Matthew won't hold still for me. So, I only get occasional snips here and there. And his hair grows very fast.
