Clair doesn't like to be alone at night, and most times. She's chatty, really chatty. She loves to talk. She is especially good for chatting whilst lying in bed at times when she should be falling asleep.
A couple nights ago she started a conversation, "Mommy, I like to kiss Zvi at school."
Me, fully of shock and surprise, as well as slightly amused and not sure how to react, "What?"
"Yes, he leans over and I kiss him. He likes it."
Me, "How do you know he likes it Clair?"
Clair, casually replies, "Because he smiles." and moves on with the next part of her story.
I proceeded to suggest hugs or handshakes were more appropriate. She proceeded to explain why a hug won't work, "becuase he doesn't lean over far enough for me to wrap my arms all the way around him."
Then she asks, "what's a handshake?"
I think she was disappointed when I showed her that move.
Clair has school Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. So each day this week I've asked her about Zvi. She hasn't kissed him this week. Yesterday's report was that he didn't get close enough. Today's report was that she didn't kiss him or give him a handshake even though he got very close. But instead, she reported that Zvi Pooped in school today. Yes, luckily, it was in the potty!
This girl is going to keep me on my toes. She's smart, social, and knows what she wants. What a combination for life, if only her stubborn unsocial momma doesn't make her hide those qualities. I'm trying hard to respect them as they are so her and I love her so much!
