Noah & Anna

After school Noah hangs out with a few other kids from his class (whose parents also work at school) and they are watched by other kids (whose parents work at the school too).  Noah plays with Karis and Daniel and Anna and sometimes Isaiah.  They had their play time and the sitter brought them down to us.  I asked Noah to wait just a minute while I finish up and we can go home.  Anna was following Noah and she decided to show off her strength and pick Noah up.  She did this a few times and Noah just went along with it.  While my back was turned I hear a smack sound.  Not the sound of a hand hitting a cheek, but more like the sound lips would make.  I turn around quickly and see Anna wiping her cheek and saying he slobbered on me.  I try not to show a reaction and I tell Noah that if Anna’s daddy was here he may beat you up.  You might not want to do that again.  Anna interjects in, “My daddy’s out of town.  He’s in India.”  Now if she was 15 that would have a whole new meaning, but thank God she is only 5 and she was just stating a fact.  Trying not to laugh I turn back to finish up so we can leave and again I hear a smack!  I quickly turn around to find Anna and Noah grinning and Noah says “I’m not gonna wipe it off!”  Oh dear!  It’s time to go home!  We try to talk to Noah about kissing without making it a big deal so he doesn’t do it again just to get a reaction.  The next day after soaking in our conversation he tells me that he has decided to kiss Katelyn next!  Ok baby I think you miss understood!  How about I word it like this, no kissing!
