First Love...

We had some friends over for dinner who have a 3 year old. Micah was a little shy at first, as is the norm. But he warmed up quickly, and once he did, I think he found his first love. A little older...A little taller...A cute little blonde with curls that drew him in...as they sit and eat dessert together, he doesn't notice the rest of the world around him...

They eat together. Laugh together. Play together. Slide together. Run around in the rain together. And then he makes his move. In the middle of play time, in the middle of the rain, and slightly out of nowhere, he reaches out to grab her hand...

He is determined.
She is desperately looking for her mom to save her.

And then she turns. And walks away. With no regrets. He chases for a minute. Then he sees the slide and forgets about the girl. "Sliiide!"
And so goes his first love.
And his first rejection.
All in the same day.
All at a very young age.
We'll see if he learned anything from this one...
