So my Oliver brings all the girls to the yard lala la lala…and it’s no doubt milk rather than milkshakes seniors he’s still at pre-school (ha!)
Recently though, I’ve been witnessing young girls are starting to notice him. He’s always been popular at nursery (in fact I remember a row of toddler girls standing by the window waving him off aged 2 1/2) but it’s becoming a little more obvious now!
…We’ve recently moved house and neighbouring girls have been giving him some innocent, sweet attention. Aged between 4 and 9, several ride outside our house on their scooters doing wheelie tricks and spins, innocently trying to engage with him. Two approached me the other day and commented they thought Oliver looked ‘cool’.
Oliver is enjoying forming bonds with these new friends (there was only a little boy close by to us in our old house) a smart, sensible, mature little boy, he gets on with everyone: girls and boys and is enjoying this new rights of passage.
And it’s really hitting home that my bambi eyed, floppy haired little hero is maturing and this formative time where children start to notice one another is happening-when he did grow up so quickly?!
I distinctly remember dating twins Jonathan and James (couldn’t choose) aged 4 at primary school walking hand in hand with both in the playground, so young love can start, well young…
It won’t be long until he’s chasing the girls himself no doubt and goodness knows what life will be like when he (and Alexander) become teenagers and start to actually date..help, I’m not sure I will ever be ready to share my boys!?

Good luck with that! We’re having fun already with a 7 year old daughter, when did they get to grow up so quickly? Can’t they just stay our babies forever???
@Franglaise Mummy haha I know darling, they really are growing up fast x
wow, what a popular boy) i dot remember much from my childhood, but im sure i like few boys in nursery but we never had “holding hands” stage
@Victoria ooh I have vivid memories and photographs of lots of my little boy-friends-started young!
Oliver is such a handsome little guy and it’s no doubt that you have a pair of heartbreakers on your hands! Good luck for those teen years! haha! #brilliantblogposts
@Super Busy Mum thanks lovely, will need a lot of luck x
I really want Oliver’s hair! He’s far too cute 🙂 xxx
@Pottymouthedmummy aw thanks x
A heartrob in the making.. oh let me take that… a young heartrob =) #brillblogposts
@Merlina ha thanks chick x
Aww the little cutie! Ruby definitely enjoyed playing with him, hope he likes being a toyboy! Xx
@Julie aw he loved playing with Ruby and suits being a toyboy 🙂 xx
I know exactly what you mean, my little boy is doe eyed and gorgeous too, and has me in giggles as he seems to have all the little girls eating out of his hand.
@Fashion-mommy so sweet to see it from such a young age!
So now that song is totally in my head!!!
x
@JUggleMum ha same, sorry! x
Aw he is such a little heartbreaker in the making. So adorable. 🙂
@Rachel thanks lovely x
Haha I can so relate. Jed was complaining again today about three girls who always give him cuddles in the playground and he has to run from them. Older women of course 😉 And trust you to date twins lol! Oliver’s a heartbreaker in training for sure x
@BabesaboutTown haha O is the same he told me “kisses are disgusting” as I was kissing him today! Yep I dated twins, so me huh! hahah x
I’m not surprised he attracts attention, he’s so gorgeous! My oldest has already decided he is marrying his best friend (a girl). But I will never let him go mwah ha ha! x
@Jess thanks darling, aw that is so sweet, imagine if that happens and will we ever be able to let go! Hehe! x
Dating twins at nursery school… you really are scandalous Ms Vicki!!
I think you are going to have to get used to vying for Oliver’s attention amongst a sea of female admirers… but hey, a boy’s mummy will always be number 1!
xx
He is completely gorgeous. I have a seven year old daughter and the thought of her growing up and having boyfriends or girlfriends just terrifies me! Time seems to have gone so fast…
@Elizabeth thanks darling, it’s scary how quickly they grow up isn’t it!
Very cute – and I can’t imagine sharing my boy, but I don’t want to be one of *those* mother in laws so will have to stand back and bite my tongue…! #brilliantblogposts
Haha same Steph xx
Aw he is gorgeous! I’m not surprised the girls are trying to get his attention… 🙂 I dont think I will ever be ready either to share my Milin! Such a scary prospect! X
Aw look at that hair. Gonna be a heart breaker x
