Kissing

Boston and Olivia are both having experiences with kissing and being in love with other children in their classes!  Yikes!  Here's the story.

A couple weeks ago I met the Mom of one little girl in Boston's class.  She is the first parent that told me of Boston's love for her daughter.  I apologized, she laughed, and even mentioned having a play date (Boston doesn't need a play date with a girl).  The next day I met the Dad of another little girl in Boston's class.  He overheard me politely urging my son to, "Hurry up."  He said, "Oh, so this is Boston."  I knew something was coming.  He told me of the hearts that he has from Boston to his daughter.  Again I apologized.  That evening Andy and I spoke with our little Romeo about listening to his teacher and learning what she has to teach, and to LEAVE THE GIRLS ALONE! 

Last week Olivia came home telling me about a little boy that always try to kiss her.  After several days of the same story, I spoke with the teacher.  Then I didn't hear anything until today.  Now it has progressed to the little boy kissing her on the lips!  Andy and I both told her to run away and tell the teacher.  I felt like telling her to start screaming as well but that might be a tad much.  I've also envisioned her giggling and thereby encouraging him to kiss her.  She better not be doing that.  She also informed me that this little boy wants to marry her.  I've had a chance to scope out this little boy while volunteering in the classroom.  He does have nice hair but likes to talk a lot.

My verdict is kissing and liking boys and girls are both on all of the kids' minds.  I've met another mom who told me her daughter always kisses the boys.  She told me this as her daughter and Boston were standing just a foot away from each other.  She must know the signs when her daughter is going in for a smooch!  I also have heard several stories of Andy being "in love" in kindergarten as well.  Maybe my children have inherited his romanticalness :)

P.S.  Yes, there is a made up word in that post.  My sisters and I like to use it.

  1. Olivia should punch him in the face. Boston is quite the ladies' man...

  2. Oh Christi, Andy did like the girls, even in kindergarten. He would defend their honor as well as telling them of his love for them, walking with them after school, and giving them "love letters". Sorry. Poor Olivia, having a boy wanting to kiss her on the lips. But, I bet secretly, she is loving that a boy finds her irresistable. Welcome to a new stage of parenthood. One good thing, they get repulsed by the opposite sex around 2nd grade and stay that way until around 5th. Take heart in the repulsion years and prepare for when they break out of that.
