A boy from school decided to make Big Sis his girlfriend. She agreed. I tried not to make it a big deal because, even at this young age, I want her to feel comfortable discussing relationships with me. I would have rather died than to talk to my mom about a boy I liked. The notes this boy sent her were enough to cause a serious rise in blood pressure (in her father)! Even though he told her he loved her more than he would probably love any other person, he dumped her after two weeks. I asked her what she said when he did it. She told me, "I just said OK." She demonstrated by shrugging her shoulders. That's my girl...don't let them loser guys get you down! He's already moved on to a new chick. Playa. It's probably because she told him no when he asked to hold her hand. Again, that's my girl!!!
Baby Girl has had a boyfriend for a year or more now. It's her brother's best friend. He's 7 years older than she is and is as sweet as sugar to her. If we ever take him anywhere with us, he holds her hand as we walk through the parking lot. He's never acted embarrassed of this little girl who's smitten with him. She tells everyone that she loves Brevan. At church last weekend, I asked her if Clayton was her new boyfriend. She's been showing him a lot of attention and asks to sit with and play with him. She replied, "I have lots of boyfriends...Brevan, Dad, Jesus...lots of boyfriends!" Good, I thought, as long as Dad and Jesus are listed in there, we're going to be just fine!
