Princess and AB have been friends since Kindergarten. They were in the same class and even started off the year sitting beside each other, not unlike this year. At the beginning of the school year, we told the kids that if they wanted to continue to sit next to each other, they would have to watch their chatting. They did a great job and still sit together.
Oh to be a little fly on the playground so I could watch these two play at recess! The stories that I have heard are so cute that I would like to see for myself. Apparently, Princess and AB run around the track holding hands, they always play in the playground together, and when the other is sick, they are each a little bit lost. AB's mom is a friend of mine, and she told me something on Tuesday that was pretty cute. She said that people come up to her and say, "Wow! It must be nice to know who your daughter-in-law is going to be already!
Yes, this is cute, but a part of me was upset by it.... I am ever so thankful that Princess has AB. They get along famously! They help each other in the classroom, according to their teacher. They love each other's company, that is evident. But for goodness sake - they are only 6 years old!
How sweet and romantic a story it would make if they did end up getting married in 20 or so years (after college has been completed). But I for one am not going to put that kind of pressure on my daughter. There will be plenty of time for crushes and dating (and all of the fun and heartache that it involves) down the line. I am in no rush to send my daughter into battle this young.
For now, I am just thankful that she has a best friend when she is away at school. It does not surprise me one bit that her best friend is a boy. She is surrounded by boys between her brothers and daddy. We are also very boy-centric in the neighborhood.
Anyway....

I just got all caught up reading your blog, sorry I got behind.. been busy :)
The taco dip sounds really yummy.. and cookies are my weakness. You too sound like you have had a crazy busy week. I like your MOPS breakfast idea.. I really really really cheatted. and popped some toaster strudels into the toaster then cut them into finger food bit size pieces.. I was just too tired to get up and cook something.
It is way cute that Princess has AB. My Princess had a friend like that 1st grade up until last year when they thought they would "Go out with" each other.. don't know where 11 year olds "GO out" but it was the thing everyone was doing in the 5th grade last year LOL.. That ruined that friendship really quick. they were boy friend and girl friend for about 6 months in which time they killed there friendship.. now they hardly ever speak to each other.. BUT take a deep breath and ~sigh~ you have a few years before having to deal with that sort of stuff :)
My son has already announced who he is going to marry. He met her a couple of years ago and even though she has since moved far away(more than 6 months ago), he still insists that she is the one for him. Don't even worry about it, they'll probably get to an age where they find each other repulsive.
Oh, ya I got distracted and forgot to mention he's 4!! hahhah
That's so cute! It would be a sweet, romantic story . . . a LONG time from now!
Tag Your IT....
You have been tagged over at my blog for some Christmas Hoopla.
lol, I like how you added "after college has been completed."
That is so sweet.
Knowing that my son will be an only child I hope for his sake he develops such a bond and friendship with another child. I think it is good for kids to have such close relationships, outside of family.
And I'm with you on the weird pressure we put on kids, talking about romance and marriage in a "cute" way. Just let them be KIDS.
