IN LOVE

My parenting experiences are growing-- and any input would be appreciated!!

Today when I picked up Addison from school she was telling me that she's IN LOVE with a boy in her class. Let's just call him EH. She's so in love with him that she's going to marry him. She's decided he's a good boy to marry because he played at the castle the right way. And he stepped on her foot and he also told her something about someone farting in the barnyard.

The part I'm stumped on is I told her that there will be NO kissing this boy-- etc.... and she just keeps asking me WHY she can't kiss him...... I told her that she's 5 and there will be no kissing, but she still asks why. Then she asked if she can kiss him in the cafeteria, or the classroom, or the playground or at home? But WHY not?!

Boy am I glad summer school will be done in 3 days-- and maybe she'll forget about EH as quickly as she fell in love. And thankfully he's not in her kindergarten class next year. :)

this made me chuckle - the first of many boys I am sure.

You did a great job handling it, I'm sure it is no big deal in the large picture. Better love than hate, too!
