Jacks got a girlfriend...

Yes. A girlfriend already..

Okay...I know some people will frown on this since he is only in the fifth grade. I found out that they have been "Going Together" since the 4th grade. To me that sounds like a record.
Now before anyone gets their panties in a wad, I do not let them go on dates and as far as I know they don't even talk to each other. They just tell each others friends that they are "going together".
I have tried to talk him into just being friends and he says,
"We are."
I tell him he is too young and he says,
"For what?"
I tell him he should just hang out with the boys and he says,
"I do."
I want you to focus on your school work,
"of course, Mom".

Then he says why do you not want me to like girls?
Okay, so he is a lover and not a hater.

It all started in Kindergarten when I picked him up from school. He sat in the back seat crying all the way home. I asked him what he was crying about and he said the song on the radio was sad. "Sad? what do you mean?", I said.
The song was called, "Mr. Lonely", I will never forget it, it was hilarious,sad and cute all at the same time.
He then told me his girlfriend broke up with him that day. Kindergarten, and he is already in LOOOOVE...
I told Greg that night, he is going to be the one to get his heart broken. You see Jack is a very sensitive and caring young man.
He will make an awesome husband one day.

So what to do, What to do?
It just seems so grown up.
am I overreacting?

She is an actress and a dancer. She was in a play at one of our theaters in town. The tragedy of it all was that she had to kiss her co-star. (doesn't this sound soo grown up already?)
So he asks me if I would take him to her play.
He had to see his rival.
The boy that she would be kissing on the cheek, had to be sized up.
He said he really wasn't all that worried because her co-star was a dancer and didn't play football.
Probably shouldn't have to worry, Jack.

So...I said yes.

The play was great and I was very impressed.
I could see the sparkle in his eyes as we watched her perform onstage and I thought to myself....oh my...he is going to get his heart broken one day.

And Jack, no worries about her co-star.
Mom's know these things.

She really is a sweet, polite, and precious little thing so I can't really blame him.

After the play,
he walked up to her.
Her face turned bright red.
He handed her some flowers.
Mumbled something like "great job!"
and then he ran away...
Classic or what?
