" Grandma, do you know what a Eskimo kiss is ? "

My son, is very much into his personal boundaries, he always has, and we have chosen to encourage it, and respect it. He is fine with a kiss, but only on the cheek. And I am fine with that as well, but I like to look at his eyes, so I long ago showed him the " Eskimo kiss " where you look someone in the face, and rub noses.
One evening, I gave him one before bed, he looks over at grandma, and says " Grandma do you want an Eskimo kiss ? "  " Well I don't know, what is an Eskimo kiss ? " " It's when I rub noses with you, instead of kiss you on the lips."  '" Well ok, I will have your Eskimo kiss ( said with a smile ). "

I often think of him as my little Angel, but the window light, just seemed to agree with me that day =)
