He plays all the time with his big sister and doesn't have any many male friends that he plays with, except at school and sometimes my friends two boys.  He was playing at McDonalds with his sister and then found a little male friend to play with and then didn't want to play with his sister.  He went down the slide with his new little friend, but kind of hugging him sort of when they went down the slide.  When they came down at the botttom of the slide, I was there and he seemed a little embarrassed and I asked him to play also with his sister. He refused.  Later, I asked him that it wasn't nice to not let his sister play with him and he said that he always plays with her and that he wanted to play with the boy and that if his sister played, he would be jelous because he was a boy.  I am sure I am blowing this out of proportion, but wondering if kids at that age show sexuality.  Could my son be gay?  Is it normal for boys to be "attracted" to boys.   </description><pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2009 14:23:21 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>bread</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
