The best bit about trying to wake up sleeping children is the way I can just snuffle the hair by their foreheads and give them kisses at the same time.
Even when I kiss our visiting cat I breathe in as I kiss her, just to check that she is really the same cat with the same smell.
Once I was carrying T or H and was beside a stable with a nervous looking mare with her foal. As soon as I did the snuffling thing with my child's head I could sense the mare relax because she could understand exactly what I was doing.
