When I pick up my youngest every day from preschool, he makes me guess who he’s played with that day. I have to make sure not to make the correct guess on the first try or he will say “no” even if it’s right.
The first few weeks of the game it was either Connor, Quinn or CJ. Sometimes it was Bennett or Haines. But recently it hasn’t been any of the usual suspects. The first day of the change, I listed all the boys in the class, but I still hadn’t named the playmate of the day.
“It starts with a C,” he told me. “And it’s a girl.”
Turns out he played with Colleen that day and almost every day since.
One day last week, he went into the playroom after lunch and was hard at work on something. Soon, there were noises of major frustration. When I went in, he was crumpling up a red piece of construction paper.
“Do you need help?” I asked. “What are you trying to make?”
“A heart,” he said. “A really big one.”
So I cut a heart out of the uncrumpled paper and gave it to him.
“What’s if for?” I asked.
“Colleen,” he said. And then he proceeded to write “I luv U CollEEn” on it.
I wonder if Colleen knows she holds my 5-year-old’s heart in her hands.
so cute. even the coolest guys fall eventually.
OMGosh….this is SOO cute. As a matter a fact, that Colleen is MY Colleen! I thought it was SO cool when she got in the car that day with that heart. I’m saving it for her for when she grows up. I will be able to show her her very first love note from a boy and be able to tell her when and where she received it. Thank-you Jonah!
Hmmmm … Colleen Stein?
Cyndi — glad to hear she’s taking care of that heart!!
