"Nose"

Emme has a new game she likes to play: "Nose." When we come down the stairs from the second floor, she likes to stop on the landing to chat. This has evolved into a game of "Nose." She lies down on the landing and I go two steps down and sit on the stair tread so our faces are on the same level. She likes me to put my face close to hers, almost nose to nose and then to talk to her. She lies still and licks at my breath. I tell her what a good girl she is and how smart and sweet she is. One of these times, she is going to lick my mouth and that will be the end of the game. Dog lips, phooey. Then we will have to create a new game.
