Kid Art

Spring Is in the Air

And apparently that means puppy love...BIG TIME. Our six year old is "in love" with Dennis, a boy in her music class. She first told me about him last week. She was all flustered and excited to tell me about this boy in her class and how he is not like other boys that bug her. She said that they sat near each other and talked and that she was a bit annoyed that another boy was trying to occupy some of Dennis' time. She was saying things like, "Can you believe I have a boyfriend?" Of course I thought that she had most of this made up in her mind and that Dennis probably thought she was just another girl in the class, but today when I picked Julia up from class she was flushed and excited with BIG NEWS. She said to me,"Do you know what Dennis said to me?" I told her I had no idea but I'm beginning to wonder if I really want to know by the look on her face. She told me that he leaned in and whispered in her ear "you're beautiful." She almost had tears in her eyes as she was telling me this. I asked her how she responded to that. She said she whispered back "thank you." When I asked later how she felt about him she said she thought that he was a "handsome prince" and that she plans to go out to dinner with him when she is 16 and he is 17. Are we seriously already planning future dates????
