Unkissable Boo Boos

Yesterday, I was enjoying a relaxing sunday afternoon with my wife and kids. Several games of "tickle me till I can't breath" and "throw in the air daddy" were played. Along with the classic "my momma" to which I would reply..."No. Myyy Momma."
It was fun.
Xander had his bottle and went for his nap, but Haven still had plenty of energy yet to spend. Ok. So here comes the $1,000,000 moment right here. I should explain a cute habit of Haven's first. Any time she bumps into anything she has to immediately let you kiss it to make it better. "kiss it. Kiss it." she says, as she promptly extends the wounded area toward your face. This could be anything from a knee scrape to the hair that brushes into her eyes when it's not in a pony tail. I was sitting on the couch while my wife, Jenn, was stretched out on the floor. Her feet were against the front of the couch, with the rest of her stretched out away from it. I was sitting near the far end of the couch watching Haven "goose" her mother. She would put her hands on her chest and neck and make a noise like...."gi...gi...gi" To which Jenn would then pretend to be all ticklish. It was fun.
Then, during one of her tickle attacks Haven lost her balance and fell quickly backwards onto an awkardlly shaped toy. Don't worry...those pampers can absorb a lot of impact. As she pulled herself up from her no doubt awkard fall she was rubbing her backside and started to turn away from her mother. I knew instantly what was coming and just about fell of the couch from laughing at just the thought of it. Jenn stared at me slightly confused at what I found so funny, until the moment she realized Haven's pampers were right in her face. I mean a hair's breath away. "kiss it. Kiss it." Oh how I wish I would've been recording that. I could've went right to AFV and said "Give me my $10,000 dollars cause this is the winner!" At this point Jenn and I both were crying from laughing so hard. Poor Haven, all she wanted was a kiss to make her boo boo better was recieving nothing but uncontrolled laughing. After several more attempts (constantly putting her diapered bottom closer to her mother's face) "kiss momma" she gave up and started to cry. I don't know what's worse. Watching your daughter trying to get her mom to kiss her bruised backside or having to explain to your daughter that that's not a kissable zone. "If your boo boo's on your bum bum (that's what she call's her backside) we can't kiss it." Especially if your diaber hasn't been recently changed....whew.
