Growing up too fast…seriously
Apparently boys get a shot of testosterone when they’re about 3½.
Guess how old David is now?
Yes, he’s been a little less than angelic over the last couple of weeks. He’s learning all sorts of words that aren’t…nice, and is using them to great effect in driving his parents up the wall! Add to that that he is a determined little lad and has to have things just the way he wants and you have a situation that has been hard work, to put it nicely. But he’s still adorable, especially when he’s crushing on older women.
Let me explain…
Pretty much every birthday party or playground or any event he has attended, the little romeo locates girls who are in that 8-12 age bracket – namely right at the point when they don’t want to be hanging out with a toddler – and follows them everywhere they go. He’ll even eschew his normal friends simply to be in the same room as his new girlfriends! Then, when he gets home, all he’ll talk about is the girls – for hours!
He’s a resilient little fella though, so when his affections aren’t returned, he doesn’t seem too fussed – he just forgets about that chick and gets another one at the next event! He’s too young to be tied down you see.
Hmmmm….grumpy, moody, aggro and obsessed with girls?!? 3½ going on 14!
