Toddler Crush
Does our little Erik have a "not-so-secret" crush?
This past Sunday, Erik had a lot of energy with only 45 minute of nap. So Mummy decided to ask Erik who would he like to play with in the afternoon. "KELLY!" was the name that was blurted out and thus the phone call started for a spontaneous Sunday Playdate Picnic.
The Story
Erik & Kelly goes to the same school/day care. We are also in a big playgroup together. So those two kids get interactions on a regular basis! Kelly has always been the "mommy" in the classroom, taking care of the other kids' needs. For example, when Erik has a hard time in the morning, Kelly would come and give Erik a big hug and then help him play with toys. She's only 2 months older than Erik!
So when Mummy picks Erik up from school and has a snack for him, he always asks Kelly to "sit down" with him for a picnic and Erik would eagerly share his morsels with Miss Kelly. It's just really cute! One time Erik even asked Kelly to "sit on Mummy's lap" as he sat on the other lap so they can have a late-afternoon picnic.
The Plan
Mummy's plan, despite the wisewords from Daddy, to meet at the very cool water-featured park and have a picnic. We were to have Turkey Burgers, Corn on the Cob, Mashed Potatoes, and cool watermelon slices! However, the park was crowded and the water feature was "broken", at least the timer was. Boooo! That stunk! Plus the weather was a bit hot and we were worried about Kelly's little sister, Khloe, who's only 5 months old. Even though there was 'shade', the weather was still too warm for comfort, especially for a little baby. So Daddy did Plan B to move the "picnic" back to our messy house. No big deal. The kids can play indoors.
The Moment
While Kelly & Erik were playing on the train table, after dinner. Erik moved in a little closer next to Kelly on his right side. Then he reached around with his arms and hugged Kelly's waist. Erik then leaned his head on Kelly's shoulders. At this age, Mummy doesn't really think there's such thing as "crushes" and Erik was just showing affection to one of his friends that he's obviously very fond of. It was such a CUTE moment!
Of course, Mummy had to ruin it by saying audibly a big "Awwwww!" where Kelly's parents turned around and Chris, Kelly's Daddy, started jokingly inquire "Hmmm? where does Erik learn this stuff? hmmm? Hmmm?" Then Erik immediately let go and sat down on the floor near the sofa as if he was hiding from embarrassment. Eek! We just ruined it. SIGH! Lesson learned...Next time...camera will be ready to take a pic! LOL!
