Colter's always been very honest with us. He comes home from school and tells us if he got in trouble, he tells us what other kids say and do that gets them into trouble, and Sunday morning, he confessed that a few weeks ago (Dec. 27, actually), he kissed a girl for the first time.
I know the date because I remember the day -- it was when this blonde bombshell who is here every other weekend staying with her dad told Colter she liked him, liked him. Turns out, he liked her too. Just after she said that, he leaned over and kissed her on the lips.
Why did he tell us yesterday? Maybe because he told us over the weekend that they were playing spin the bottle outside -- but only hugging -- and that started a conversation that continued, about how Colter's feelings are changing and his body will change, too.
He and Aleshia are just friends again. She has another boyfriend and Colter has no interest in any other girls. For now. Meanwhile, we re-read "What's the big secret?" at bedtime.
I still remember my first kiss. Do you remember yours?

I remember my first kiss. I was in the ninth grade and I went to a State (Florida)choral/band performance. I was in the choral group. I met a boy in the band who said he liked me. After a rehersal he walked me to my hotel room with my roommates. When my roommates went into the room he pulled me aside and there, in the hall, I received my first kiss. I thought I was going to faint. My roommates knew immediately what happened by the look on my face! I never saw him again, but I will always remember my first kiss. That was 36 years ago..........

Oh yes, I was 14 and he was trouble, and his name was Mike. He surprise-kissed me on a crowded street one afternoon, and I looked up to see my mother's best Christian friend standing right in front of us! LOL, what fun remembering...

My now husband was my first kiss when I was 16. We "frenched" in the laundry room of his mother's house while I was handing him tools to work on his truck. *giggle and grin* remembering.

I kissed a boy named "Bubu" on a stack of hay that for some reason was in his Uncle's garage. Ah, the joy of selective memory. I remember it being the most perfect kiss ever! I'm sure it was really slobbery and gross but all I remember is being in love. I truly thought I would marry "Bubu."
