My son was my daughter's shadow. Even if he was surrounded by other friends, he needed her to take him down, be around, include him in her games and bring him back home safely.
She was a little mother, even if complaining sometimes, willing still.
Then he turned 5. And he announced, "You go down, I will follow. Tell me where you will be."
I had been panicking that he will end up playing girly games, that he will only have girls for friends.
Today, he doesn't care if she is there or not. He goes down and comes up on his own. Plays with older boys, and complains he gets out quickly in cricket. But he is thrilled to be with boys.
But he is suddenly a little man. A rowdy, more like.
