How many is too many kisses from a two year old?

DS is constantly puckering up. It's lovely, don't get me wrong, but sometimes I worry (as you do).

When we get up he pulls me down onto the giant bean bag in the sitting room and has a snog (it's a residue from breastfeeding and he basically sucks on my bottom lip), everytime he's uspet he wants a suck, when I put his socks on he steals a kiss, he can dive on me at any moment basically. I wish his dad were so ardent!

You're lucky! My DS2 is two, and generally his kisses turn into bites.

WigWamBam · 13/02/2007 17:12

You can never have too many kisses from your 2 year old! Even if they are slurpy, sucky ones.

It won't be long before he thinks kisses are girlie and yucky and doesn't want to give you any, so make the most of it

nogoes · 13/02/2007 17:12

Ds is just the same. Yesterday I had to count how many kisses he could give me in a row and he managed 75! I love it, lets make the most of it while it lasts I can't imagine they will be wanting to "snog" their mums in 12 years time.

SpawnChorus · 13/02/2007 17:13

No advice.....

But that is insanely sweet.

I'm sure he won't be doing it by the time he goes to uni though

Stargazer · 13/02/2007 17:14

You can't have too many from a 2 year old!! In fact make the most of them - once they get bigger, it's really quite hard getting a kiss. My DD, 5, will reluctantly give me a kiss and DS, 11, will only kiss me if no one else can see!

I sometimes get the odd punch is the eye (proper closed fist ones) when he's in a radge NQC.

Ah, I get a full-arm swing slap when he's annoyed. The bites are more excessive affection, I think. They still really hurt. Oh, and sometimes he just does it to be cheeky - he often has a tiny little bite at my inner thigh, as it's just at the right height. I don't cope with it well, either.

You can never have too many kisses!

DD asks me 100 times a day

"have you got a bad head?"

I reply yes, so she kisses my head.

She repeats for my eyes, nose and face.

Then she tries to stop giggling as she asks

"have you got a bad bum?"

Makes me laugh every time

So cute!
Personnaly i stop DS when spitting begins. yuk! if he keeps it tidy why would I ever want him to stop??? He's going on 3. saddly, I know this is not going to last for ever!

Twiglett · 14/02/2007 09:06

sorry but I'm going to go against the grain here a little

I think if you feel its too many you should say sweetly 'that's enough now'

I also think the sucking on your bottom lip shouldn't be encouraged personally .. huge difference between that and a kiss .. and would he do it to others

my 6 year old still likes to hug and kiss me
my 2.8 year old is big on huggles and gives great kisses
they both had OTT stages with sloppy slightly annoying kisses .. they didn't last long with a little discouragement / deflection

slim22 · 14/02/2007 09:11

kind of agree with twigglett on one issue: who he kisses. It's just me, his dad, his nans.
We play kiss the eyes, cheeks, nose, chin and forehead. when we get to the mouth we stop and start tickling.

HeartOnMyGreensleeve · 14/02/2007 09:13

My 2yo gives "messy kisses" or "tidy kisses" depending on what mood he is in.

Paddlechick666 · 14/02/2007 09:57

my dd is 15 months and gives the best kisses and hugs. i love it.

sometimes i ask for a kiss and she shakes her head and gurns at me - hilarious!

she'll kiss anyone tho lol.

i'll be a bit worried if she's still up for snogging all and sundry in a few years tho!

wheresthehamster · 14/02/2007 10:55

Dd3 used to like a 'snoggle'. It sometimes went on a bit long but I was the only person she did it to.

Even now she's 9 she likes to do them sometimes.

TeeCee · 14/02/2007 11:01

My DD is very kissy, or can be. Sometimes she takes my face in her hands and does a proper full on long grindy snog. I always say to her 'that's very nice but that is a special mummy kiss only'. She has no sense of stranger danger and would kiss anyone. When she was much smaller I had to really discourage her as she would pucker up and ask complete strangers in shops for a kiss.
She kisses all her teachers and the other kids but we try and get her to tone it down as much as we can with other people.

Dophus · 14/02/2007 11:05

I get attacked by the kissy monster all the time by my 2yo. I would hate to out him off. I particularly enjoy it when he has bit trickles of green snot hanging out of his nose and goes for the mouth...

paulaplumpbottom · 14/02/2007 11:05

Lucky you. Enjoy every moment. One day he'll be seven or eight and kissing Mommy will be yucky.

fennel · 14/02/2007 16:53

I'm with Twiglett. we tell our dds that you never ever have to be kissed by anyone you don't feel like being kissed by (especially by creepy relatives). I think that applies to adults too - I hate sloppy kisses even from my children. ugh.

Oh but it keeps my bottom lip all plump

Gobbledigook · 14/02/2007 21:16

MT, ds3 is the same - he loves 'cuggles' and kisses. He's very, very cute and it won't last forever - relish every moment!

Mycupoverrunswithlove · 14/02/2007 21:20

I think just go with it, one of my dts is like this, he wont let go, I figure that it is a way of expressing his affection that he needs right now. the other two are more restrained
