My 9 year old boy just told me that he thinks some of my friends are pretty and he thinks that may be "weird" or "strange". In particular he keeps talking about my best friend. I keep re-assuring him that it is ok to think people of all ages are pretty and attractive this is very "normal" and common. I truly think it is, I remember thinking some of my parents friends were extra handsome, but now I need some re-assurance. What are boys supposed to think at 9 1/2? He has crushes on girls his own age, and says this is not a crush on my friend, but I am thinking it is a little crush. Is this normal....????
