When "Nothin" Is Nothin

Do you remember how old you were when you played doctor or nurse for the first time? Think about it...this is a REALLY important question. My husband told me it is when you are older (than 4 1/2) I hope he is right.

For the life of me I can't remember what age I was when I started playing that game.I do remember playing it maybe,um, once or twice ya know! I HOPE this game is no longer popular and kids today are busy with so many other toys that it will not even be an issue. I mean when I was growing up there was not that much to play with; today kids have SO much more than we ever had, right? This is NOT making me feel any better. Sort of like Christmas...there can be a ton of presents but the child likes the box the best...UH OH I might be in BIG trouble.

Little Bits started a camp and has become friendly with this little boy Aiden (whose name I love and it always makes me think of Aiden from Sex and The City...HOTTIE)It started out very sweet. She came home from camp one day and told me Aiden is always trying to hug her, with a huge smile on her face. Then the next day she started talking about him more, then several times after that I asked her about her day and she told me she shared cheese curls with Aiden and played with Aiden.

All week it has been Aiden....Aiden ....Aiden. When I pick her up at camp she says good-bye to Aiden and not to anyone else. The other day I went to find her (at pick-up time) and, um, she was in a room with Aiden (alone) and when I asked her what she was doing she said in a very coy voice "nothin". I have the typical little miss 4 year old who thinks she can do everything herself including driving and forgets that she is not 30. Her "nothin" was suspicious but also the way she looked at me was too.

So, after days of racking my brain, I still can not remember how old I was when I became curious and played doctor. I do remember in my early years of grade school we would pretend to get married. Is this just her first real crush and I have nothing to worry about? I am not ready to handle this...I feel like I am still just cathching my breath from the toddler years.
