So....down another 1.2 lbs...WOOHOO. I rule. ;)
What does Valentine's Day mean to you?
Are you doing anything special to mark the day?
Us? NOTHING.
We are going to make a nice dinner, I am going to get the candles out and hopefully enjoy my family. LOL. Bubba has been a pistol lately so maybe if I have some candy waiting for after dinner he will behave. ;)
OH and I have to tell you about my discovery with my 7 year old daughter.
In her daycare cubby there was this book thing, the front said, "the journal". So, I opened it up and started looking at the pages. For the most part there was nothing written except her friend's names and phone numbers. OK. The page flipped and it was covered in hearts and the words, "I love Jackson".
So last night I asked her if she needed the book and she freaked out.
"Did you read it?" she asked.
"Yes, I read it, why?"
"Oh nothing, Mom."
"Bugs, do you want to tell me who Jackson is and why you LOVE him?"
She says enthusicastically (is spell check working yet???) "it is this boy in C's class, he is so cute, Mom!"
Trying to make sure my face didn't turn all evil looking, I tried to ask more questions in a loving way and not a YOU ARE SEVEN HOW CAN YOU LOVE ANY BOY way.
So I continued, "He's cute, huh?"
"Mom, he is HOT!"
Giggling because really what seven year old is able to be HOT?
"Really, he's hot huh?"
"Mom, I see him staring at me."
Me getting creeped out, who is this boy?
"Stares at you?"
"Yes, that is how I know he likes me and so I like him."
"So you like a boy because he likes you?"
"Yes and he is hot mom."
Well, there you have it. IF life was just that easy. LOL. Ah to be seven and in love.
I can't wait to lay my eyes on this boy and see if he really is all that she says he is.
Staying in sounds like a great Valentine's plan. Great news on your weigh in! Now you can eat Valentine's chocolate! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day. Congrats on the weight loss - good for you!!
ReplyDeleteCan I say how proud of you I am? Well I am. You go girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember "loving" a boy when I was seven too. Yikes. I had no idea!
I love that she was okay to share that with you though, that means you have great communication! Keep up the excellent work Momma
:-)
Happy Valentines Day!! Good job on the weight loss!!! I'm cheering for you!!!
ReplyDeleteThat was a cute story with your little girl. I can't wait to have that discussion with mines =) And the spell checks is sooo on my bad side. =)
ReplyDeleteWow, you are doing so well with the weight loss! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteBut OMG ... this happens at age 7? Yikes! It's kinda cute though. I wonder exactly what goes through their little heads. Keep up the great communication with her, it's something you definitely want to have when she's older and actually thinking about dating and stuff!
Oh my, she is growing up. This is so cute and heart wrenching at the same time.
ReplyDelete7 and in love? I can't imagine the time when my little girl turns 7. Have a wonderful V day.
ReplyDeleteOh I remember "young love" from when I taught first and second grade. Spring time first grade it starts and unfortunately it never ever ends!!! I use to tell my kids that when they came back to visit me from college they could use the words boyfriend and girlfriend, otherwise right now we are all just friends.
ReplyDeleteToo young!
Oh, that's sweet! The first of many a crush to come, I'm sure! Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day, Stacie, and just couldn't be happier for you or more proud! You're doing so great, and I know (god how I know) it ain't easy! Have a wonderful weekend!
