My First Kiss

I have for the past eight months or so, continually tried to get Max to give me a kiss. I plead in both English and Spanish, with no luck. Supposedly he doles out kisses to his girl, Hania, in the park and to his other friends. He kisses characters and animals from his books, but nothing for Mommy (or Daddy for that matter).

This morning, over breakfast, I just asked, "Max, give Mommy a kiss." and low and behold the little prince leaned over and planted one right on my lips. I almost cried! And of course, I made him do it another five times, just to make sure it was real (and to make up for some lost time), so I probably won't get another for a while.

This was SO much better than my first kiss to Jeremy Scott in 7th grade at the Old Mystic Village gazebo! Ha!

Who are Los Lemleys?

Los Lemleys are John, Julie, Maximo and Lola. We're currently living on Rokko Island in Kobe, Japan. Here we write about our happenings and share photos of our life abroad.

We started blogging in 2007 when we had to keep family and friends updated on what was going on with our premature baby.

Over a year later, we transitioned from the Lo Maximo blog to Los Lemleys where you'll find vignettes of our lives as we travel, move, teach, and raise our third culture kids.

Disclaimer: This is NOT a cultural or literary masterpiece, nor is it intended to be. It's a way for us to document our adventures for our family and friends. It'll hopefully be something Maximo & Lola can look back on, since their baby book is a bit bare and she only has a meager folder with ultrasound photos and a legal document or two.
