Trent's First Kiss!

Ahhhh....young love!

Mark had a work holiday party last Saturday. So, we packed up some apps, Trent and an ice chest of beer for Mark. The co-worker who hosted the party has an adorable three year old boy and the cutest sixteen month old little girl. Trent and the kids immediately hit it off and were soon playing happily together.

Hours into the party, both Mark and Trent were fascinated with the little girl. Mark kept picking her up and staring at her with the cutest little smile and glean in his eye. He has not stopped talking about that adorable and insanely smart little girl since! He soooo wants the new baby to be a girl (we find out on Friday, whoop, whoop).

At first, Trent did not know what to think when he saw all of the pink! From the little girl's room, to all of her dolls, he was mesmerized! He picked up one of her dolls with the tips of his fingers, turned his head to the side, stared at the little doll face and then immediately dropped it and jumped into the brother's battery-operated car. On a side-note--that little girl would hop into that same car, maneuver it around corners like nobody's business and then park it with the greatest of ease. Both her brother and Trent on the other hand, would get into the car, press the power button and ride the thing until it hit the wall where they would then proceed to keep their fingers on the "gas button" while the tires practically burned a hole in the carpet as if continuing to do the exact same thing would make the car do something different. Ahhhh, the difference between boys and girls.

Back to my story.....

We were getting ready to pack our belongings when we all noticed that Trent and the little girl were staring at each other intently. The mother of the little girl urged her daughter to give Trent a kiss. The little girl took a step forward while Trent stood firmly in place. He couldn't take his eyes off of her! I told Trent to give hugs and kisses. Silently, he took a step forward at the same time that the little girl did. Trent opened his arms...the little girl puckered her lips...they both closed their eyes and leaned forward.....

And then they kissed!

The entire party erupted in cheers and laughter. Trent's eyes shot open and he was soooo excited! He immediately started smiling and he began to run around the kitchen like a dog with the "puppy crazies." It was the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life!

This is most certainly a story for Trent's baby book! My little man had his first kiss and he could not have been more proud of himself!
