Admirer

I've missed a bunch of interesting things lately, but I didn't want to miss this.  It was so darn cute.

A boy on Tatiana's soccer team has decided he is in love with Tatiana.  The boy's name is Braiden.   I think.   Braiden's brother announced that Braiden was in love with Tatiana as we got to practice.  I'd wondered if maybe the brother was teasing Braiden or maybe it was the brother that really liked Tatiana.   But, then Tatiana sat on the end of the bench and another boy sat next to her and Scotland pointed out that Braiden was disappointed.  Then later the kids shifted around on the bench and Braiden got to sit next to Tatiana and he was so happy.   He had this cute happy, glowy, shy smile when he took the spot next to her.  Then when we were leaving, he presented Tatiana with a single tiny wildflower.  Tatiana said thank you very nicely and continued with us to the car.  She wanted it kept safe while she was buckled in, but she forgot about it during the ride.

eta:  After the brother announced that Braiden loved Tatiana I told her, "He won't be the last"  She said, "I know"
