Heartbreakers

The other day, when I was picking up David from school, two different mothers made a point to approach me and tell me how much their little girls love my David. The first mother said that on the way home from the dance party, her little girl was going on and on: "David is so funny. David is so nice. David is so cool." The music screeched to a halt when she finished with, "And David is soooo handsome." "What???," thought her mother. "You are 4 years old!! Don't you dare tell your father that you said that!"

The second mother said that her daughter talks about David all the time. She said that there have been numerous mornings when her daughter was resisting getting ready for school and was convinced to go only by her mother saying "But David will be there."

One of the moms in our playgroup back in Chicago predicted that David would be "that boy" in school that all the girls crushed on. Maybe she was right ;)

Michael's got his own game. Over the past month or so, Michael has developed what I can only call "a following" among David's classmates. At pick-up time, several of the girls literally line up to give Michael a hug. Today, one of the boys' mother caught us as we were walking out and asked if her son could just say goodbye to Michael. I felt like Justin Bieber's bodyguard, granting one more adoring fan their moment with the icon. My Michael Bear definitely has charisma ;)
