No… Hendrik did not kiss someone. He was kissed by someone… 3X!
The girl next to Hendrik is Arni (not sure of the spelling). Hendrik met her Wednesday night when he was playing in the playground just next to our block. The two became instant friends. They talked, ran, and played together.
This evening, they saw each other again in the playground. As they are already friends, they went ahead playing, jumping, running and doing the slide together. Then all of a sudden, as the two of them were standing still in the playground, I saw Arni kissing Hendrik on the cheek. Hendrik was silent. Maybe he was thinking why is this girl suddenly kissing me? Then for the 2nd time, Arni kissed him on the cheek again. Hendrik didn’t mind.
I informed Arni’s grandmother who was sitting beside me at that time that her granddaughter kissed my son. She was also surprised and smiled. Then, she explained that Arni is a very sweet and friendly girl and that she easily makes friends.
Hendrik and Arni carried on playing. As we were watching them, they were sitting down beside the slides when Arni kissed Hendrik for the 3rd time! Is she expecting a response from my son? Naaaa... There was no malice. Just pure, innocent, friendly gesture between toddlers… =)
P.S. To Arni and Arni's parents, if you are going to come across and read this post someday in the future, please forgive me for posting this. I am so sorry if I had not asked for your permission before publishing this article along with your precious daughter's photo. No harm intended, just to document a highlight of my son Hendrik's toddler years. - Feona
