We have had many playdates with Ninh lately, and Molly has really enjoyed playing with him. She learned how to say his name - quite clearly - and for the last few days, all she talks about is Ninh. After our last visit with him on Sunday, she talked about him as she fell asleep that evening. 'Ninh' was the first word she said when she woke up Monday morning, and she repeated it 6 times. She carried on to talk about him incessantly all day. She would pick up a toy, hold it to her ear like a telephone, and talk to Ninh. She would be drinking her bottle, would take it out of her mouth and say 'Ninh', then continue drinking. She sees a picture of a boy in a book, points to it and says 'Ninh'. 'Ninh' was the last word she said as she fell asleep at night. She has continued talking about him for the last few days. Just this afternoon, as I was putting her to sleep for her nap, the telephone rang. I ignored it, but she said with a smile, 'Mama, Ninh. Ninh. Ninh'. I think this is her first crush on a boy! How cute is that? How obsessive is that?
