a receptacle for life

While Luke was in bed in the morning he had a small smile and looked pensive and said, 'mama, I saw a pretty little girl yesterday'. 

I said 'which one? The one from your school?' 'No'

I thought for a while 'the one we saw downstairs who came out from the lift?' 'Yes'

Hmmm interesting. This is the first time he mention anything about attraction to the opposite sex. 

'You want to be her friend?' I probed further. He nodded yes and looked shy. 

'So cute!' I said and he covered his face with Pillow Friend.

My little boy is surely but slowly growing up. What a bittersweet experience. 

Wish we could have more moments like these because shortly after that he didn't want to get out of bed and tantrums were thrown and threats made...
