Girl Crazy? Not my little boy....

We all know that one day our sweet little boys that only have eyes for their mommas are going to grow up and yes of course notice girls etc.....But that's forever away right!? Well I've had a few panic moments thinking that it is happening too soon.....Anyway, the first incident happened a few months ago. Bradley had swimming lessons back then and we were in the dressing room changing and I caught him staring at this little girl waiting for her sister. She was sitting there minding her own business reading her book. So Bradley is inching his way closer to her just mesmerized. He then motioned to his little buddy Diego and says "Diego come here!!!" and he was quite demanding about it. I guess so Diego could stare at her too. The girl looks at him and Bradley says "Hi" in a shy little voice...she is polite and says "hi" back. Well that was that, I didn't make a big deal...just observed.....We get in the truck and I say "Bradley, why were you staring at that girl?" and he says "because she was so beautiful and looks like a princess" I was like "OH MY!!" She was a very pretty little girl for sure, with long blonde curly hair and big blue eyes. But he's not suppose to notice that yet. Is he? Next story...Bradley is always out playing with his little buddies Ben and Abbey. Abbey is the type that crawls in the dirt with the boys looking for frogs and bugs (which by the way last night the little tree frog that she was holding jumped out of her hands and stuck to my leg and I let out a yelp the whole neighborhood heard) I think I scared her to death. That's besides the point....anyways my house is always full of flies because I leave my door open alot and she always wants me to pull my blinds up so she can kill them with her hand like a little indian child. Well, Bradley has now found great fun in this as well. The other day he so flirtatiously runs up to Abbey in a sweet little voice and says "Abbey, I killed two flies for you" and opens his little paw and there are two dead flies in his hand and she's like "whatever" Well, he's been acting funny around her lately so that night as we are getting ready for bed I ask him "Bradley, do you think Abbey is cute and he says again in a shy little voice "Aw mommy, she is so adorable" so then I say what about Brynne and he says "oh, she's adorable too" I'm thinking ok, that's why he blew the applesauce in her hair because maybe that's a 4 year old way to flirt. He probably thought by giving Abbey those flies she would like him better knowing how much she loves bugs. Who knows, I just left it at that. I didn't want to entertain the thought, just wanted to confirm my suspicion. It's a long way to go but I just can't even think of my little boy growing up. I tell him all the time that I have special medicine that I'm going to give him so he will stay little forever and sometimes he says "oh no you won't, I'll just run from you", and we get all silly about it or if he's in a sweet mood he'll say "don't worry mommy even when I'm big like daddy, I will still sit on your lap." That's all I need to hear. Nothing like making him feel guilty for growing up right?!. Craig assures me this is all normal and that he kissed a girl at 5 and I was like "oh no, not like father, like son in this case" Anyway, this story is more for me to remember, but someone may get a kick out of it.
