Valentine's Day

I don't think I'm ready for this! Last night at church, Mallory's Dad was approached by a young man wanting to know if he could give her a box of chocolates after service. Yes, that is polite of him to ask, but she's not old enough for that!!! I've always tried to prepare myself for that "someday," but it's way too soon.

She didn't say anything to me last night and when I woke up this morning to find a box of chocolates, I asked her about it. She sheepishly grinned and said, "I don't like him like "that", and I didn't want the teasing." No, I didn't tease, and my heart was relieved to hear her say, "I don't like him like 'that'." Whew!!! This young guy was very considerate of her sister also, but all Taylor got was a little package of gummy worms (one of her favorites).

I know, I know...it will come sooner rather than later, just hopefully a "little" later rather than sooner.
