Leo's love


Can you be in love with someone that you only knew a few months? Even if you haven't seen them for half a year?

Leo was at the Boulder Montessori school from March to August of last year. We made a lot of friends there and continue to have playdates with some of the kids from his class. One of the kids that he spoke of at the end was a girl named Foster. Paul and I never met her and she was always on vacation according to Leo. He asked for playdates with her but we never saw her or her parents so never did anything about it. After we left that school, we figured he'd forget her. Well, he hasn't. In January, he made this school project of him "Singing With Foster". We sent emails to her mom and never heard back. He and his best friend Claudia were talking about marriage when he finally said that he was already going to marry someone else, and that was Foster. Well, finally, he and Paul went back to the school where she had already left for the day, and left a note and asked the teachers to tell her that Leo was looking for her. It took about a month, but we finally heard back from the mom that she had found the note that Foster was thrilled to hear from Leo and that we'd do a playdate when they had time in a month or so.

Such a crazy little romantic story. I can't wait to see what they think of each other now, nearly a year later.
