Logan: The Kissing Bandit

If you haven't heard about (or experienced) Logan the Kissing Bandit, you are about to find out about this little man. Logan really likes to give kisses. Period. I've blogged about this topic before here but since then, it's gotten worse, or better I guess, depending on how you look at it. It all started when we taught him to give his mommy and daddy kisses, then his grandparents, his aunts and uncles, etc. I then noticed that while playing in his playroom, sometimes he'd give his "friends," (stuffed animals) kisses too, he then moved on to his giant ape, Mr. Potato Head, his toy horse, his big red ball, and the list goes on and on and on and on...

The other night before bed, he even gave the wall a kiss - totally unprompted! So, it's funny enough in and of itself that Logan the Kissing Bandit kisses everything in site when he's feeling kind, but there's more to his story. After his bedtime routine each night, we read a book, turn out the lights and rock in his chair for a few minutes before putting him into his crib. Every once and a while when rocking with his head on my shoulder, he will lean up and give an unexpected little kiss...so cute, huh? Well, then he'll put his head down for a few seconds, look up and do it again, and again, and again...you get the picture. It was totally adorable the first few times, as each kiss was so innocent, as if he was just trying to say, "I love you Mom!." But one time, I made the mistake of letting it go on for nearly 20 minutes -- bad move, it's now a game. I have now learned my lesson, after just a few kisses, it's crib time. I'm not sure that there are any other moms out there that have to put their kids to bed for kissing them too much!?!

So, there it is friends, the story of Logan the Kissing Bandit - watch yourself next time he is around, there could be a kiss awaiting you! :)
