Mason has a new love interest.

He shuns us on school days as we wait at the bus stop, leaving us in the dust as he eagerly runs to his new love to whisper his sweet nothings.

The enthusiastic message is always the same.

“ I LIKE YOUR VALENTINES… THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION “

The message is followed by a hug.

When we see his crush around town, he has to drop what he’s doing to talk, if only for a brief moment.

Today we saw her 4 times.

Once on the corner near our house.

Once in the parking lot near Old Navy.

Once at the school playground where we BBQ'd with family this evening.

Once again on the corner near the house.

He is obsessed.

Mason, whom I’m beginning to think is part canine, is in love with fire hydrants.
