PDAs

Ever since Jacob was able to see past the end of his nose, he has been highly attuned to PDAs: Public Displays of Affection.  Only between Mommy and Daddy.

When he was little he would yelp if we hugged or kissed.  As he got older, his face would take on an extreme look of alarm and he would yell or grunt to get our attention… if we’re hugging, he’ll quickly wedge himself in between our legs and say “No Mama, No Mama, No.”  James and I are not allowed to touch.  All affection must be directed toward those 3-feet tall and under.

Last week Jake was riding in his car seat and James was driving.  Without thinking, I rubbed the back of James’ neck.  From the backseat I hear, “No Mama.  Hands in lap!”

Clearly an exact quote from one of his teachers…
