A recent conversation overheard between Colin and his daddy ...Colin: "Does Colin have heartbeat?"
Kevin: "Yes, Colin, you have a heartbeat, right here." (Kevin points to the left side of Colin's chest.)
Colin: "Does Daddy have heartbeat?"
Kevin: "Yes, I have a heartbeat."
Colin: "Does girls have heartbeat?"
Kevin: Yes, girls have a heartbeat.
Colin: "Does Urmila have hearbeat?" (Urmila was one of Colin's favourite caregivers at his daycare.)
Kevin: "Yes, Urmila is a girl. She has a heartbeat."
Colin: "Does Fanny have heartbeat?" (Fanny is the cat.)
Kevin: "Yes, Fanny has a heartbeat." Colin pauses for a long moment and looks up to Kevin with concern.
Colin: "... Does Mama have heartbeat?"
I'm glad to know that in Colin's taxonomy I fall somewhere between girls and cats.

Sounds like that boy is awfully close to figuring out that you're mortal.
If you want, you can tell him that his friends, R&C, recently saw a heart beating at around 175 bpm. :) We weren't going to say anything for a few more weeks, but since Colin is so interested in heartbeats...
oooh! So cute! I love it! I'm so glad you're documenting this adorableness too because those little gems can slip away so fast if you don't write them down.
Bless. x
