Crush Crush

And so it begins.  From what I’ve gathered, Sam has a sweet little crush.  On a girl.  Her name is Mary Evelyn.  She’s in his class at school.

Here’s the evidence:

• The other night, me and S&S were playing bingo when the phone rings.  It was a sweet little voice I didn’t recognize asking to talk to Sam.  I give him the phone and hear him guessing who it was.  Rachel?  Malena?  (his two besties)  No… Mary, is this you?  When he realizes that it is her, I notice  his smile change a little.  A slight blush to it.  He then kinda rolls away from us (we were on the floor).   And they proceed to have a “conversation.”  It was short and sweet and they hang up.  It took him a minute to come back to earth.
• Later that night, as we are getting in bed, he suddenly remembers he has one more thing to do!  I tell him no, that he has to wait until the morning.  He frets that he will forget.  I tell him he can write himself a note.  Here’s what that note says, "Write Mary something.”
• The next morning, he writes this, “Mary, I love you.  From, Sam”
• He puts it in his backpack.  (I do notice that in his backpack is also a note to Malena saying the same thing.  But my instinct tells me that he means that to Malena like you would to your bff.)
• After school, he’s looking for his summer crocs.  Why? I ask…  So I can put my ‘love notes’ from Mary in them so I don’t forget about them.  He has a piece of paper in his hand that says “Dear Sam, I love you.  Love Mary.”
• A little later, I open his backpack.  Three more ‘love notes’ from Mary.
