Kiss and Tell

Dear Lila,

Today was notable because you talked about two topics that I'm not ready for you to be talking about yet!

#1. When you were taking a shower after school, you looked down at your chest and stated, "Mama, my boobs are getting bigger. Look! They are starting to come out."

#2. When you were eating your after-school snack, you asked me who my high school friends were. I said I was friends with girls named Claudia, Molly, Aviva, Andrea and Christina. Your eyes lit up and you said, "Claudia like in The Babysitters' Club! And Molly like Molly in Bubble Guppies! And Christina is like Kristy in The Babysitters' Club." Then you asked me who my friends in college were. I said, "Well, Daddy, obviously." That led to you asking about how Daddy and I met and why we started dating. I told you that we lived on the same dorm floor and that we started hanging out. I said Daddy made me laugh and that I liked talking to him and spending time with him. Then a knowing smile spread across your face and you interrupted me to say, "And you liked kissing him?" I laughed and said yes, I did like kissing him. And then I freaked out a little because you asked me about kissing! Gah! Too soon! Too soon!

Love,
Mom
