checkin you out...

-
So when did it happen? When did my son turn into a teenager at the tender age of six - almost seven.

The day before yesterday we went to see the SQUEAKQUEL with Alvin and the Chipmunks. It was hilarious to see my son laugh and blurt out kid commentary throughout the film. I love watching him giggle at something. His face lights up.

However his face lit up for an entirely different reason earlier that day, and I almost lost it. I tried not to giggle, but he was too cute.

We were waiting for our friends to join us at the theater when a young blonde seven-ish little girl walked by. I noticed her doing a double-take at my son and giving him a shy sideways look.

I looked down at him and said, 'Dude she was totally checking you out!'
He said with a wide grin, 'And I was checking her out mom!'

I asked him what that meant and his response?

'It's when you're seeing if you'd make a good couple with someone.'

OH. MY. GOSH.

First - I started it. I started the whole idea.
Second - OH - MY - GOSH!
Third - HOLY CRAP - my son's checking a girl out. Stop that!

Sigh ... I'm going to have to keep those girls at bay and he's only six. Why don't people tell us moms these things before we have kids? Where is the user manual on that one??

LOL my 5 year old was doing the same thing at the airport. He was watching this cute redhead girl play with her younger sister & informed me that he was the same age as her. But when we told him she was looking at him he got shy & tried to change the subject. Daddy won't be the only one with a shotgun in this house ;) figuratively speaking.

And it gets worse the older they get! Catch a guy checking out your 13 year old daughter? You want to break legs, I can tell you!

Kids are the greatest thing ever - not the easiest thing ever - just the greatest.

He informed me yesterday that while at church, in the library, he was 'checkin out' an 9 year old. He said, 'I saw her, checked her out, and then started talking real nice to her'. O MY GOSH I've got a flirt on my hands.

Mother's Day Surprise

I got this for Mother's Day along with a big three-ring binder of photos and artwork that my son has compiled all through PRE-K. It was the most touching gift he's given to date, in his five years. Even though his PRE-K teacher orchestrated taking all the pics through the school year and organizing all his artwork, it was still all my son's favorite pieces and shots. I loved it. I love that he thinks I'm fourteen feet tall, which he says it's all leg by the way. He even drew me that way. I love that he remembers my age and my favorite color. I love that he still loves my kisses. I hope he never outgrows that, but I know he will. After giving it to me, he told me he loved my hair put up but thought it would be prettier with more ponytails. He ran and grabbed more colorful rubber bands and asked me to put them on in the places he pointed to. "I want a pink one ... there. I want the blue one ... there." He looked at me when I'd finished a...

a startling lesson

-
Okay, so I got a sex ed lesson this week from my almost 5-year-old. I know at this age kids are extremely interested in their bodies and the differences in them and the opposite sex. I think with boys...they are from birth to the grave....but I digress. He called me into the bathroom and said, "hey mom....um you know my hump?" (He calls his nads his hump, and I've never told him any other term) I nodded my head. He asked, "do you know it's a bucket of skin that holds my pee?" I raised my eyebrows and said, "No, I didn't know that." Okay...at this point I'm not going to correct him. I'm just gonna let him figure some stuff out on his own until "THE" talk comes at a later date. He got excited and kept going, " And you know what? " "What?" "When I'm older...I'll have hair on it too!" I almost fell to the floor at this one! "Ooooh really? Where did you hear that?" ...

Facing Redemption

-
The sequel to Finding Kylie is called Facing Redemption. I'm twelve chapters in and am so ready to finish. When writing Finding Kylie, I would dream of different scenes or character traits and wake up, knowing what direction I needed to head with my next chapter. So far with this book, I've not dreamt as much at night but can't stop daydreaming. I need to pull my head out of the clouds and focus on my own life a little more. Lately, it seems all I eat, drink, and sometimes sleep is this sequel. I think mostly because every time I turn around I've been getting emails, phone calls, and questions from readers of 'Finding Kylie' wanting to know 'when the next book will be out.' It's exciting to know they've fallen in love with my characters so much that they're chomping at the bit to have closure on some of the things I've left open-ended with the first book. It means I'm making a difference with my writing. I've impacted ...
