Oh Carol...

and every other female in the world.
Watch out for my 4-year-old. A certifiable flirt.
We've been home from our 24th of July Luna trip for a good week+ now. The 5 days of gorgeous weather and toyhauler time was pure bliss. Aidan got a bit restless for other kids (you guys have to come next time, Shan!), but Davyn was in heaven with all sorts of female company. The biggest crush was Carol. Who is 10. And who flirted nearly as much as he did.
And he always has kisses and love for his grandmas. This year he loved picking (and eating) peas from Grandma Hulsey's garden.
Then there was LeAnn. Who is Carol's step-mom (and Jim's cousin). She helped him learn some roping and then he decidedly chose her lap over both mine, Grandma Kay's and Tasha's (unheard of!).
There was also a little second cousin. Their hands were glued together for the duration of Grandma Scott's 99 1/2 birthday party (I get to make the 100th cake in January!).
One morning, on the heel of all these escapades, there was some D teasing about his "girlfriends". I quickly piped in with "they're not your girlfriends...just girls who you like who are good friends. Right?" Well, he was indignant. "Them IS my girlfriends, Mom." Everyone looked at me in agreement: I'm in for trouble as this boy gets older.
After we made it home, Davyn told me all the girls he plans to marry (Carol tops the list for now). I told him that you only marry one person. He told me that would be hard to decide. I wanted to tell him that - in that case - he better always listen closely to his mom. But I didn't. For now. Instead I considered the list of girls Jim dated along his way to me. And the list of guys I dated along my way to him. Somehow life ebbs and flows and eventually leads you to what's *right*.
Thank goodness.

How are you feeling? You're due in October, right?
And I echo Shanon -- I can't wait to hold your baby!
