And So It Begins...

(Tanner and I are laying on his bed on our tummies...looking at his yearbook from last year...he's giving me the run down of which class all the kids ended up in this year)

Tanner: So this is my friend Logan. He is Luke's BFF.
Mom: What does BFF mean?
Tanner: It's like...best friends forever...you know.
Mom: Ok - got it.
Tanner: And this is (blank). She is evil.
Mom: Why is she evil?
Tanner: Well, that's what her brother says anyway. I don't really know why.
Mom: Well, sometimes brothers and sisters don't get along. It doesn't mean she is evil.
Tanner: Mom - let's not fight about it, ok? It's just what we like to call her.
Mom: Ok - got it.
Tanner: And this is XXX. She is totally cute.
Mom: (quizical look...thinking to myself...did I just hear that right?)
Tanner: And this is...
Mom: Hold up. Back up to XXX. You think she is cute?
Tanner: Well Mom, did you look at her?
Mom: (smiling)
Tanner: Isn't she totally cute?
Mom: I guess so. Why do you think she is cute?
Tanner: Did you see her big eyes?
Mom: Yes, she does have very pretty eyes. Why else do you think she is cute?
Tanner: I like her kind of hair.
Mom: And what kind of hair is that?
Tanner: You know...like light color. Doesn't she just look happy?
Mom: Yes, she looks happy.
Tanner: She's just little and adorable. Ok - now - this is Max...
(several minutes later as I get up to leave)
Tanner: Thanks for snuggling with me Mom. I love you.
Mom: I love you too buddy.

And so...I think I just had my first conversation with my little dude about a girl. "Totally cute"...to use his words :) For now, I'm happy to remain his #1 girl...but clearly he has a wandering eye now. It's only a matter of time .
