H's Friend Alex

So Holden has come home everyday from school talking about his friend Alex.  They play hide and seek.  They play at the "park" (playground).  They both like to paint with green paint.

I mentioned to his teacher today that Holden sure likes playing with his buddy Alex.  She pointed to Alex and said, "Alex IS fun."

I was looking past the curly headed mocha baby girl for a chubby scoop of vanilla boy .... that wasn't there.

Alex is a girl?!?  Holden has a girlfriend?!?  This cannot be.

So, like any good mother I prodded H not-so-subtly at dinner.

"Is Alex your friend at school?"  Holden grinned, his eyes lit up and he nodded yes.

"Is Alex pretty?"  Holden Cheshired it this time accompanied with a giggle. His eyes got bigger and he nodded his head even harder.

Good God.  Holden is in love.

Hate and Love in one week.  This may be more than this momma can take.
