I just got an email from my friend, Jan--Makken's grandmother.
"Another attempt to impress Elena. He tried chatting up a storm, parallel play, taking an interest in her interests (umbrellas, tape measures), throwing out a few words en espanol, being strong and brave despite bonking his head into Yenna’s big scary table, carefully pronouncing her favorite new word, iridescent, and touching the iridescent dots on her shirt, and pulling up a chair to be just inches from her beautiful countenance. Today, he thought he’d try on some glasses to make himself look more worldly and intelligent. Please tell him it’s working. The boy is in love."
Who wouldn't fall in love with that sweet little face? With a shared interest in tape measures and umbrellas, what's not to love?
