Lewis has a new girlfriend. For an eight year old, he has a pretty good grip on romance. It's so innocent and sweet. There isn't much to it at all, except for the declaration of the thing. He came to me the other day with a grin from ear to ear. I think she likes me too, he said. The news came via a friend, as I remember to be the case in third grade, 25 or so years ago.
He got a Valentine's card from her. I like her style. She's bold. And sassy.
May we all take a cue from a third grader on this day of love! Throw caution to the wind and say it with vim and vigor! Unleash your inner poet! Take a minute to tell those you love, just how much, and in a special way. Sing it, dance it, bake it, write it, recite it. Today is the day!
And sweet little girl, may you always have such gusto!
oh my goodness! this is the cutest thing ever! I have to know the girl who wrote it, since my bold 8-year old has some adventurous girls in her life.
