A M A Z I N G, B R I L L I A N T and F L I P P I N G R E A T !!!
After what seems like an eternity (though is probably only a few weeks) I no longer have to peck him on the forehead like he's my elderly relative.
I can actually give him a kiss on the mouth YAY !!!
It does feel like kissing someone new though because all the new skin is perfectly soft and smooth, plus of course he only has five teeth in his head now. But I'm liking this turning the corner.
It's the little things in life that truly make the difference to our day.
