Little Whispers

I wonder what it is about the act of telling a secret that is so appealing? Is it the closeness created both physically through the act of leaning into someone and whispering and emotionally through sharing something not many people know?

This act appeals to even the youngest among us. Jack's new thing is to lean in close to me, put his mouth by my ear, and whisper nonsense. It is the cutest, creating some special moments just for us. He doesn't really say anything, but wanting that closeness makes it so special to me, my heart melts every time he does it.

I secretly hope that he always confides in me, even if it is just in whispered exchanges. My sweet little man, what a blessing!
