YOU WEARIN' LIPSTICK?

I'll admit...I'm obsessed with lipgloss. Love it...love it...and running out is like running out of milk. My mother always told my two sisters and I that lipstick makes you look polished. "Put on a little lipstick," she would say. At the time, I didn't think anything of it. But, smearing on my favorite shade of MAC lipgloss does make me feel a bit better. Yes, its the small things in life.

My 3-year-old isn't too fond of lipstick. For the past 6 months, each time I go to kiss him, he stops me and says, "You wearin' lipstick?" It's always the same three words. YOU WEARIN' LIPSTICK? If I say yes, he covers his mouth with his hands and will only kiss my cheek. If I say no, I get to kiss the cutest 3-year-old in the world. I soon realized the cheek kisses were beginning to outnumber the others!

I decided the only way I was getting my way was to steal kisses. Now when he leans in to kiss my cheek, I quickly turn to face him and kiss his mouth. This routine of ours always ends in giggles from both of us.

This happens several times a day, and anymore, I'm not so sure Hayden really cares about the lipstick. He loves the game.

...And I love him.
