It is amazing at how much "more kissing" has done for our R lately. I have been stealing kisses from her at random now in the evenings in the kitchen or while she is watching TV in her lounger. Sometimes she will only do the quick smack and won't let me get a really good kiss. Other times though I am surprised when she will really engage in a nice kiss and I get to play with her hair or caress her neck... Highly recommended.

Last night I tried to initiate ML. I got all the excuses in response: I'm tired, it's too late, I have to get up early, and I haven't had a bath. I was really proud of myself. I was about to say, "There must be a few more excuses you could add to the list." However, I DID NOT say that. Instead I said, "Ok I understand, goodnight W."

This morning W gave me a big hug and a kiss goodbye and said, "I am so sorry about last night. It has been such a busy week and I fell asleep in about 2 minutes after I laid down. I promise to make it up to you this weekend." ;\)

If I had gotten all pissy about it last night she would not have had this attitude. A little patience and understanding goes a long way.
