Kissing boys

Every morning we make sure to say goodbye with a kiss.  Typically, Cindy is holding Lily as they walk out the door.  Cindy and I kiss, then Lily & I (if she lets me), then Cindy gives Lily a kiss.   It has become a ritual, but is always sincere, touching and consistently memorable.  

Today it struck me that I don't know what to do with a boy.  Do you kiss your son?   Is there some cut-off age?  I don't get the rules, or even what's best.

The good thing is that I had the similar concerns with Lily, and I not only figured everything out (so far), but it just came naturally.   Hopefully that trend continues.

  1. Little boys like kisses and hugs too. Don't worry about when to cut them out, he will let you know. Kids have a way of letting you know when they have outgrown things.
