My boy is an affectionate one

Joshua is my affectionate boy. He loves to be held and snuggled.  He gives kisses, nuzzles his head into Mom and Dad's chest and face, and he nuzzles his stuffed animals.  \

Very recently he has been starting to share his affection with his friends. 

During one of our recent park excursion a little boy crawled over to Joshua and Joshua immediately gave him a hug and then kissed his forehead. Joshua kept trying to get closer and closer to him which lead to the little boy crying.  Apparently,  he didn't appreciate all the affection Joshua was dishing out. 

Reaching out to give his new friend a hug.

 

This was right after Joshua kissed his forhead

Every week Joshua and I attend a playgroup with kids of all ages.  Joshua has a little buddy (Mason) there who is just over a year.  He has the same calm, laid back demeanor that Joshua has.  It is fun watching them interact.  They like to pet touch each other on the face and head.

At the last playgroup both boys were sitting next to each other playing with the same toy.  Joshua leaned over to his friend, gave him a hug, and then nuzzled his face up against his friend's face.  He did this a few different times.  It was the absolute sweetest thing I have ever seen!  I am so bummed that I don't have a picture.

It is so sweet watching Joshua loving on his friends.
