The Kissing Hand

We pulled out some new books this weekend – one of which was The Kissing Hand – It’s the sweetest story about a little raccoon who doesn’t want to go to school – he wants to stay home and play with his toys and friends. The mom tells him its ok to be a little scared but school is fun and he will have a great time. Then she tells him a little secret – its called the kissing hand – she opens his palm and places a kiss inside and tells him that all he has to do is hold his hand to his cheek and know his momma loves him.

Well this morning as we are leaving for school Sam runs over to Hannah, opens her hand and kisses her palm – then looks at me and says “Hannah has a kissing hand too!”

My heart melted….
