My "First Kiss"

The other night after dinner Hayden and I were hanging out on the driveway enjoying the sun that stays up until almost 10pm these days.  He was mostly pushing his trains around and intermittently stopping to examen the "flowers" that Nancy planted last summer.  (there are quotes around flowers b/c even though they are perennials and Nancy told me they would come back I was a little late in watering them this season and they are still brown at this point.)  Eventually Hayden started heading down the driveway just to the sidewalk and he would look up and wave and say "bye-bye" as if he was going for a walk.  He did that a few times and I finally said "don't leave me, I'll be sad."  At that he stopped where he was, turned around and marched back up the driveway and gave me a big wet kiss!  He has learned to give kisses when we ask him but this is the first time he has done it without being asked.  I don't think I have to tell you my heart melted!  He's such a sweetie, I think I'll keep him ;)
