This morning when we got to Kita Tim rushed off screaming to a little girl out of another group and gave her a huge hug... he actually stood there hugging her and grinning for quite a while. Both the girl's mother and I were really surprised at such an extensive and strong expression of emotion and thought it was really cute. But I have to say, that for a moment there I got really jealous... I felt that my little boy already has feelings towards others that I don't (didn't) know about. My immediate thought was "who is this little brat that my perfect little man is apparently interested in?!" And this girl must've been about 1.5 year old! Made me think that one day he'll have a life of his own, where Jack and I will play a much smaller role. Obviously it's something I knew on a logical level all along, but today for the first time I actually felt it... :) In the meantime the 2 year mark is approaching!
It's funny how people react differently to things. I love seeing Maya make friends, like other people and be liked. For me it's a worry that she won't have friends. So it's always good to know that she can form friendships and attachments to others and that she is someone that others like too. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha... it's funny but cute at the same time. Us mothers just want the kids to be kids. I think we over-think it.
ReplyDeleteThere's a boy (now a good friend) who goes to the same classes as Lexy... Last week, he sat next to lexy and in the middle the class he looked at Lexy's hand and kept trying to touch her hand, meanwhile his mum kept stopping him and told him to focus! LOL. And, yesterday they walked together and he pinched her cheek. I wont bother mentioning how often they hug to say good bye.
I told his mum (tongue in cheek), that's ok for now, you can hug my daughter but I will be watching him in the next 10 years!!!! ;p
You should take photo of Tim with this girl... will be a cute story when he's older.
