STOP licking your sister, please!!!

These are words that I never dreamt would be coming out of my mouth.  This afternoon I was sitting holding little Peanut after nursing her.  We were having a precious little moment when her big sister decided reading was a bore.  She looked up from her books and sweetly proclaimed, "Momma, I love your baby!"  I told her thank you as she hopped off the couch and headed closer to us.  Hovering over Peanut's head, she looked up at me with big hazel eyes, and I knew she was planning something!  Before I could decipher what her plans were, she stuck out her tongue and licked Peanut's forehead just like a cow at a salt lick. She was slow-licking and generous with her saliva, leaving a little puddle of sisterly goodness on Ellie's forehead.  Before I could say anything at all, the three of us burst out into a chorus of belly laughs! I hadn't time to regain composure when I saw the tongue protruding again and a second round of sister-licking was in play.  One time is funny, but two times is just getting plain gross.  That's when I decided she needed to "STOP licking your sister, please!"
