I think showing affection is important, whether that is through gifts, time, words of affirmation, etc. (gotta love me some Love Languages).
My love language is most definitely words of affirmation--I think that will probably show through posts throughout the year. A little note or card or compliment goes a long way for me.
But that isn't the same for everyone. My husband, he is definitely a time person. A past coworker was a total gift giver (and so thoughtful about it too). It is a challenge for me to learn to serve others beyond my own lens of love. See, I am going to learn so much this year. I can just write 2013 notes to people (though that would be my favorite thing to do).
I am good about giving physical affection to my little baby man though. Lots of words of affirmation, mind you, but lots and lots and lots of hugs and kisses.
One particular Sunday I really couldn't stop giving him kisses. He tried to wiggle his way out of some, but I just couldn't help it. It was probably a bit ridiculous and a little annoying, but I didn't care because I was loving my baby!
*Side note:I have heard other moms talk about loving their kids so much they could just eat them. Yeah, I thought that was weird to say, until I saw my little one's cheeks. Seriously....it all made perfect sense then.
Little E was like a perfect little dessert---ALL DAY LONG!
So, I dubbed that day "The Day of A Thousand Kisses."
It sounds cheesy, but it was perfect and beautiful and annoying and slobbery all at the same time.
