He picks out his clothes for school based off what she’d like. (“I want to wear my Braves shirt because she likes the Braves.”)
He also dresses to impress her. (“I’m gonna wear my fast pants to show her how fast I run in them.”)
He draws pictures for her and no one else. (I asked for one and he said no.)
It seems our baby boy is smitten with a little girl at his school. While I think it’s adorable and I approve of the young lady (Nia says she is her best friend at Nate’s school), I just worry about this part – he told us they have “sneaked” a smooch.
Now, Andrew and I told him all that we are supposed to tell him as parents about this. He’s too young to be smooching anyone, it’s not proper to do such things at his age or in school and he’ll get germs. (No, not cooties! Germs! Well, I guess there’s really not a difference, huh?) I even said that I didn’t think her parents would like that and that he could get in trouble at school. Nia then added, “I don’t even do that and I’m older!”
Maybe we’re over-reacting, I don’t know. I just want him to be respectful and not feel like it’s ok to plant one on others whenever he wants. I suppose I also want him to stay little and unknowing of such things for as long as possible.
As a compromise, I told him no more sneaking and no more smooching but that he could give her a hug. I actually think I like Nia’s idea better though. She suggested he just blow her a kiss.
Are You Zhazha? 
Oh my word! Don’t worry, I won’t tell Camille. 🙂 Sounds like you’re handling it well, but I am so not ready for all this!
