We thought we had a few more years until it all started.
The love notes. Names of boys doodled on scrap pieces of paper. Talk about boyfriends and girlfriends.
“She’s only in Kindergarten,” I thought, naively. But I had no idea how early it started.
I thought I had plenty of time before my hair started really turning white.
We thought we had a few more years until dad had to dust off the shotgun to ward off potential suitors. (Kidding, people. We don’t even own a shotgun. Yet.)
Apparently, we were wrong.
Isn’t it amazing how young it starts??! My daughter – at 6 – was going on and on about how “all the kids say that J. and G. are lovebirds for each other” – and was trying to be their matchmaker! I just couldn’t believe it! (-:
I know! I had no idea, either.
Matchmaker, huh? Sounds like trouble, indeed. 🙂
I see what your husband is getting for Christmas this year. I will buy the ammo.
Sheesh. Aren’t you glad you’re having another boy?
My 4yo has already proposed to one of the boys in her kindergarten class. Yikes!
This is terrifying! Asher, at eight, still has no interest in girls. I guess I just assumed it would be the same with Amelia. By sharing this, you have ensured that I will never get a full night’s sleep again!
Judging by the size of the heart, this looks serious. I have three words: Mossberg 12 gauge. Ha, ha, ha…no really.
OMG! AAAAHHHH! I would be freaking out!
We haven’t had this at all, though Maddie really is the one with all the “boyfriends”.
Yikes! I know…I’ve had a little bit of this lately with my 6yo. Talking about your hair turning white.
Ack! No idea how I would handle this! Although I DO remember having some pretty good crushes in kindergarten. So I guess it all makes sense…
I have a 5yr old little girl; but she’s in pre-school because of her late bday. Anyway, one day after I picked her up from school (back when school first started) she gets into the car and says “Mommy! I made a new friend today! Will you call HIS mommy and see if HE can spend the night?” I was all “Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Girl… Back up!! HIS mom??!” And she was all “Ya, he’s my new boyfriend!” {sigh} She’s 5!!!
Holy crap!! You are SO not supposed to deal with this now!
I am still crossing my fingers and thanking my lucky stars that the daughter isn’t boy-crazed.
Yet.
