Yes, there comes a time in every parents life when your children start noticing the oppostie gender. *huff*.... To my delight this has been a very fun experience. Keplar is in love! (his words not mine) haha
The course of this conversation has been taken place over several days:
"Mom I'm in love!"
"What? with who? Me?"
"No with Madison!"
"I dont' think you're in love but you may like her."
"I think I am....."
Next day at school it was his birthday and I went in to do a spotlight about him. Then after he calls on other classmates and they get to say nice things about him. He choses Madison even though she didn't raised her hand. haha Very cute!
Last Sunday I gave him a haircut. Keplar says "Wow I look handsome. Madison is going to love it!" again I smile at him "you do look handsome." Then as we are going to bed he says
"I wish Madison would talk more."
" She is shy, do you like that she is quite?"
"No she needs to talk."
haha I just laugh and kiss him goodnight.
Monday he came home from school and I asked him how his day went. I get the normal respons, good, and he tells me about what they did. Then I asked him if anyone noticed his haircut?
"No"
"Oh well you still look handsome."
"I know"
Then we get home and are going about the day.
Keplar says "Guess what happened?"
"What?"
"No, no I can't tell you its to embarassing!"
"What?"
"I can't its to embarassing."
"You can tell me anything thats why I'm here."
"Madison asked me to marry her today!"
"haha What? What did you say?"
"Nothing I walked away" hahaha
"Did she really say that or did you wish she did?"
"No she said it."
"I don't think she did. She doesn't talk she is shy."
"I know, she didn't, but I do want to kiss her."
hahaha
"No you don't. If little boys kiss girls they turn into SLUGS!"
"What is a slug?"
"They are slimy, gooey, little things that are tiny and gross."
"Eww I don't want to be a slug."
"Then you better not let her kiss you."
hahaha
Later that night when we were putting Keplar to bed. Adam came in and we were talking about Madison. I told him if she kissed Keplar she would turn him into a slug!
"You dont' want to be turned into a slug snoopies!"
"Did you turn into a slug when mommy kissed you?"
"Yes I did and it wasn't fun."
"Oh, I don't want to be a slug."
"Don't let girls kiss you then."
hahaahahaha
"hmmm yeah I won't".. was Keplar's reply
I know our slug story won't be believed forever. But it was still a good laugh and a learning experience. I giggle just thinking about it. My little boy is growing up. Its fun to remember this time. They don't stay little forever. Even now my 6 year old is growing up and seeing girls in a whole new way.
