Malachi came home last night and whispered in my ear that two girls, "C" and "K" have crushes on him. In early December, Malachi attended "K's" birthday party at Pizza Hut. I took him shopping for a gift. He picked out a black fedora hat with a sparkly pink ribbon around it and a Hello Kitty patch on one side. Simply cute. Anyway, "K" loved his present and proudly wore it the rest of the night. She was more excited about his gift than any other gift including a DS her parents gave her. She kept giving him hugs and then came to give me a hug, too. I had a feeling that she might be "crushing" on my son.
James asked Malachi if he held the girls' hands. He replied that yes he does, but not at the same time. I asked him if he liked one more than the other. "No, I like them both." I tried to explain that he might hurt their feelings if he was holding both of their hands. Later he said that when he was older he was going to have to buy a ring for one of them. I asked which girl he would choose. He didn't know so he would do "Eeny Meeny Miny Mo". Haha, the mind of a child!
While it is kind of adorable to see his shy smile while talking about these girls, I hope he doesn't get too girl crazy. I'm sure we'll have many years ahead of us for that!
Are you teaching him that girls have coodies? He doesn't want to get infected with those. Terrible things happen to boys who get too close to girls. He won't be able to fight off their germs . . . ever! Until he is 30, he should stay far, far away from girls that are not his relatives. Only girl relatives are safe.
ReplyDeleteWhile you are at it, you better get cracking with your other two ;D
We've tried the coodies approach. Initially, that worked. But I think this all started when the girls came over to tell him that they had a crush on him. Ooh, those girl ;-) Samara is already talking about being a princess and marries a king. We're going to be in big trouble with her!
