Precious Kiss

Brayden gives Baylie a hundred kisses a day (and maybe more!). He can't walk past her without giving her attention--a hug, kiss, song, story, or advice about life :-] Today, he asked her: "Baylie, promise me that when I am at school you will not play with my toys." I cautioned him that she will be allowed to play with his toys just as he will have permission with hers. "But Mom, she'll lick them!" He has always been quite sensitive to this issue--even as a toddler, he avoided the dreaded finger of spit. Why do we mothers think spit is an acceptable cleaning solution?
