So… I tell Gabriel, on a regular basis, how beautiful I think he is. Talking about his muscles developing, his tan skin, etc.  and really, in the past couple of weeks, he is becoming extra.

Last night he had been running around with friends in the heat.  Came up to me for help taking off his wet shirt.  his body was glistening with sweat when he looked in the mirror.

“So, how do I look?”, he asks me with a grin and look of pride…

“Why?” I ask. “Do you like how you look?”

“Oh… yeah…”

What am I doing to this child?
