Friends

Mica's had a crush on a girl in his class since the beginning of the year. I haven't heard of any girlfriend talk for awhile - except for fictional characters. I think through his teacher and us made it clear to Mica that he needs to just be friends with people right now.

That doesn't change the fact that he likes this girl in his class! He actually told me last week, "Mom I know who I want to marry!" I said, "Who?" He said, "Insert her name here. But I know she's just a friend right now." I said, "Mica you might just change your mind."

We went to his music and art festival. A couple of his friends were there. He had to sit next to the girl he likes. We went over to look at his artwork. The kids in the class could choose anyone to draw as their friend. Mica chose the girl he likes.

Her Dad came up and said, "That's fun that Mica chose her!" Then her Mom stopped me later and said, "That's so sweet that Mica picked her to be his friend!" The image was all about them playing at recess.

His Cars Are His Girlfriend

Isaak's been talking about playing with Emma at preschool. Mica said, "Oh Isaak has a girlfriend. Emma is Isaak's girlfriend!" Ya Mica still talks about girls!

Isaak said, "Emma not my girlfriend! My cars are my girlfriend!" I don't think Isaak gets the concept of what a "Girlfriend" is, which is perfectly fine to me. ;)

Yesterday Mica Got Upset at School

You want to know why? Because a follow boy in his class is trying to take over his girlfriend. At least that is what Mica said. Funny, but not. Mica was upset. We're back stepping and playing down the whole girlfriend idea. Just like he doesn't understand what having a girlfriend is really like, he doesn't understand the heartbreak that goes with it. Here Daddy and I thought Isaak was going to be our sensitive one when it came to the ladies. We never really encouraged the girlfriend thing, it's just that Mica would tell us he has a girlfriend. I thought it was cute puppy love. I had crushes when I was young, so I thought it was good that Mica was talking to us. Now it's down played.

The teacher told Daddy that a lot of the time kids find themselves being drawn to students that are like themselves. According to the teacher Mica and Kammy are a few of the more mature students in the class. Mica is 6 and had 3 years of preschool prior to going to kindergarten.

All the reasons why we waited a year to send him to kindergarten: He has an August birthday, he's a boy obviously and he wouldn't cut or color before school started last year.

All the reasons why we started preschool so early: He wasn't around any kids besides his cousin, his cousin Evan was 3 months older and was starting preschool, Mica just went with him and Mica was fully potty trained at that age {a requirement}.

So hummm...Sorry Mica you have to wait to date until you are 16 years old. ;)

Our Walk Home From School

I picked Mica up from school.

Mica says, "Mom I have a new girlfriend."
I said, "What's her name?"
He said, "I'm not sure, but I like her!"
Then he told me, "I didn't want to tell her that she's my girlfriend because my old girlfriend from preschool might get cross if she finds out!"

The whole conversation cracked me up! The word, "Cross" was just too funny! Daddy reminded me later on that in the Thomas movies they use the word, "Cross" a lot.
