One Sweet Kiss

Most of the time, John & Kathryn don't get along. Call it what you will - sibling rivalry, twin boy/girl angst, 2 1/2 yr old 'don't touch me' syndrome. However, last night there was a very brief moment of love between the two. As we were trying to get the kids to settle down from a long day of activities, I innocently asked Kathryn & John to give each other a night-night kiss. Instead of the immediate 'no', Kathryn leaned over me & gave John the sweetest smooch. I didn't have to cajole or tempt with a reward. Just a pucker & a kiss. My bottom lip quivered, it was a moment I'll always treasure.

Two minutes later - John kicked Kathryn & she retaliated with a bite to the arm. Where did my moment of 'love' go? Poof! Gone!
