Gabe has a bestest buddy. A bestest buddy that he is absolutely, positively head over heels in LOVE with!!! Her name is Dominique. She is neighbors with Gabe's Great GrandMaw... but she is not just a neighbor... her and her family have essentially been adopted into our family :)
Whenever Gabe sees Dominique, he RUNS to her with his little arms waving and a smile from ear to ear....he tugs at the bottom of her shirt for her to pick him up...and he says repeatedly "hi.hi.hi" in his sweet little voice.
While I think his love for Dominique is sweet, it does cause some problems and makes his mama's heart hurt!!!
The problem is...every time he sees a little girl... he thinks it's her...
A few weeks ago we were playing at chic-fila and he kept trying to climb on this little girl... just like he climbs on Dominique... only this girl didn't quite know what to do with this strange little boy climbing on her. She just stared at him and kept saying, "No Baby No"! I tried to pull Gabe off of her and distract him but he was fascinated with this girl... he kept running to her... and this is where the heartache takes place...
He didn't understand. He thought it was his friend Dominique and he didn't know why she was pushing him off of her and why she wouldn't play with him. It made me so sad to think that for the first time in my baby's life... he was feeling rejection...
(sniff sniff sniff)
The worst part of it all.... is that this happens all the time!!! Everyday my heart aches for him. Do you know how many brown hair little girls there are out there!?!
There may be lots of brown hair little girls out there...
but there is only ONE Dominique!
