Just the really little ones :) As I was thinking about ways that we can make the BLC more like a real family, I realized that we don’t show as much affection as a normal family. Especially a latin family! Some of it is due to sheer numbers. There are just so many of them and so few of us adults. And it is so easy to get occupied in activity and discipline that unnecessary affection slips quickly from the mind.
So daily kisses became my new goal for the 2 youngest dorms. Most frequently I sneak up behind them while they are eating a meal. Many try to run from me, but few get away! Some of them absolutely LOVE getting their kisses. One kiss per day is necessary, but they can ask for as many extra as they like. I have received requests (and delivered) 100 kisses on many occasions! I’ve also had a few boys recommend that I buy dark lipstick so that they can keep the kiss longer! And whenever the littlest ones are grouchy with no apparent reason, I recommend kisses as the cure and it nearly always works!
I’m pretty sure that I have the best job ever!!
