Mica Came Clean

For a year, or more Mica's wanted to be an inventor. He wanted to make a time machine.

I thought this desire to be an inventor was from watching Back to the Future. He loves those movies!

The other night Mica said to Daddy, "I can't wait to make a time machine!"

Daddy said, "Why do you want to make a time machine so bad?"

Mica said, "Because I'm in love."

Daddy said, "What?"

Mica said, "I'm in love with Laura from Little House on the Prairie. I want to go back in time to meet her!"

Daddy the literal person that he his said, "Mica you do know that is just a show, and that Melissa Gilbert is older than I am?"  Daddy showed him pictures of Melissa Gilbert now.

Mica buried his little face in his hands. He looked up and said, "I love her." 

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. ;)
