Less Heartbreak, More Heartbreaker

I've been sad for Declan. Thinking of how he's going to lose Alexis at the start of the school year as she begins kindergarten and is no longer at Kelly's. Only a few days remain and then he won't see her again. 

This past Tuesday Declan was at Kelly's. She told me how another little girl was starting that day. In the evening I asked Declan if he met the new girl "Natasha?"

"Nooo."

"I thought it was Natasha. Is it Natalia?"

"Yes! I like her."

This morning when dropping Declan at Kelly's I mentioned how Declan said he likes Natalia. Kelly told me that yes, she knows Declan quite likes her and that she's a beautiful little girl. Not quite 3.

I asked him this evening if he played with his friends today.

"Yup. Alexis and Nihal. And Ella too."

"And was Natalia there?"

"Ya! She's my girlfriend!"

And with that. I'm not sure Alexis is his favourite anymore. Although I'm sure he will still miss his little friend.
