4 year old with intense feelings

My little one (4 in March) seems to have an obsession with older boys. When we are out she will often spot an older boy, usually between 8-11 and automatically follow him around until he will become friends with her. She will act shy but want to be with them. Today it happened again (3rd time in 2 weeks), the little boy gave her a bracelet to take home and now at bedtime she is distraught as she wants to see the boy and “give him a hug and his bracelet”. Are these intense feelings normal in a girl so young? She’s not like this with her girl friends and won’t do this with girls she meets out and about.

Hmm, I'd say that is unusual. Does she have a brother / cousin / family friend in that age range she's very attached to?

No, no siblings or older cousins that she’s like this with at all.
