baby's first crush

This is the face of a boy in love:


Those big, sparkling eyes.

That dopey grin.

(His father used to look at me like that!)

And here is the object of his affection:


Her name is Candice Night.

She is part of the "Renaissance Rock" band Blackmore's Night.

My husband put in a DVD of their concert months ago (more to amuse himself during an evening alone with the boy), and Malcolm just took to it ... He loves "dancing" to the music, clapping his hands with the beat, and, of course, gazing at the loveliness that is the lead singer.


I'm in trouble when he becomes a hormonally-charged teenager!
