Kindergarten Romance? Funny

[mommyatty]

At a birthday party this weekend, a mom I really like came up, grinned and said "So I hear (DD) and R are getting married." DD has been talking about R at home, but apparently they are quite the kindergarten celebrity couple at school.

We are dying. We talked to her about how really until you can go on dates, and one of you can drive, you really can't have a boyfriend. Lol. She isn't buying it. They play together at recess, and eat lunch together, and that is definitely enough to qualify.

The most hilarious part was this mom, whose son is BFFs with R, said to his mom, "Okay, so I can't marry (DD) because R is... so who is going to marry me?" She told him he has a little time to decide that.

DS had a girlfriend as a baby. They used to hold hands all the time even when they were not mobile just sitting together in their boppy pillows. Luckily no one right now. Last year he had a crush for about a month but nothing happened with it.

He is planning to get married and was thinking about it, but no sure on kids yet lol. He already knows where he plans to live and go to college.

Last year for Valentine's day a little boy gave DD2 (5) a red rose (made of fabric) and a little pink teddy bear. A few weeks later we went to his birthday party and his mom said he talks about her all the time and even said he missed her when they were on school break. And it is not all one-sided. My daughter talk about him a lot too.

When DD1 was about 4 she announced to me that she knew who she was going to marry (a best buddy from daycare). For almost a year she insisted on it, but has now moved on.

Watch out - DD had a kinder romance like this and in fourth grade it's still going strong! Cute stuff, like he pulls out her chair sometimes at lunch and they partner up on assignments and he blocks for her in football. But it blows my mind that this is the fifth year and they haven't wavered!

So cute! DD was "in love" with a set of twin boys in preschool last year. She called them her "boyfriends". Her first kinder friend is a little boy as well. No talk of boyfriends yet.

DD has a friend G. A couple years ago he told him mom that him and DD were going to get married after he turned 21 but when DD is still 20. His mom asked him why then and his response was that he should be playing major league baseball by then and have enough money so that they can have their own place...aw.

They still really like each other but don't get to see each other very often sine they go to different schools.

DS falls in love frequently at the playground. He'll watch them for about 30 seconds, then go right up to them, and say, "You're beautiful!" Then they play together.

Yesterday he fell in love and said his heart exploded when she left and now he doesn't love her anymore. He also had a gf in his 3yo room. She came to his 4th bday party and - unfortunately I was busy chasing DD - but I hear that they held hands and talked about their wedding. She's not in his DC anymore... But the kid is marrying me, so all these poor girls will have to just come and go.

[k3am]

Oh man. I married Thomas S. in kinder. We're technically still married, but another woman (Ms. Lindina) came between us and separated us. He moved in 1st grade prior to us getting a divorce. He was my first kiss.

DD still is holding out to marry her daddy.

[twinmomma]

For a while my girls were plotting to marry each other, but they knew you couldn't marry someone who lives in your family's house, so one of them was going to move in with MIL and the other would stay with DH and I. They were convinced they had found a loophole. haha

[traveltheworld]

I can't remember what the context was, but I was telling DS(5) that he has to get married first before he can celebrate a wedding anniversary. DS said that's not a problem, he'll find someone to marry. When I asked who he plans to marry, he listed off 5 girls that he knows, and said: "don't worry, I got options."

I suppose that's still better than wanting to marry me and DH, or his sister.

He did become very attached to this slightly older girl at his Montessori pre-school, got her phone number from her Dad, and asked DH to arrange a play date. When DH tried to brush it off by saying that he is busy and can't talk on the phone, DS shouted: "just text him!! Text him and he'll reply! A text takes 2 seconds!"

My DS is in a love triangle, LOL. His best friend likes a girl who likes DS. DS hasn't said whether he "likes" the girl or not. He seems more interested in hanging out with his buddies and playing sports, which is fine with me.

I am secretly hoping that DD will someday marry DS's best friend, as long as he stays a "good kid" as he grows up.

I'm also waiting to see what the public school Kinder reaction is to DS announcing his boyfriend selections. He also chooses girl friends. I have left it at some boys date boys and some boys date girls. The second grader on our street asked him if he was a not nice word, and DS asked him
why he was mean....but he doesn't really get it. He did remind me he can't wear Polo shirts to school because they make him too handsome and might distract his friends. I don't know what to expect from this one...

[erinshelley21]

DS has had a girlfriend since the second day of preschool over a month ago. The first school day after he had to miss for being sick I asked him if he was excited to go to school and he said "Yes, and GF will be too because she loves me" They are on the same tee ball team and she randomly looked up at one of the dad's from the other team and said "T (meaning DS) is my boyfriend" It's adorable.

Although she's a little spit fire and definitely gets him into trouble on the tee ball field for not listening.

DS was also obsessed with marrying his (boy) best friend from about age 2.5 - 4.5.  He hasn't talked about it much recently, but the two of them still hold hands and give each other kisses.  We've told him he can marry anybody as long as it's outside the family

[mommyatty]

My closest friend among friends who go to school with DD told me that, to complicate matters, her daughter was madly in love with R in preschool. But now she's all about being best friends with DD, and R has ceased to exist.

DD on the other hand told me last year she hated R because he was "a stinky boy who plays Star Wars all the time with Jake and Lucas". A lot can change over the summer, I guess.

We would be totally fine with this romance lasting, lol. R's parents are super-nice, from a small country in Northern Europe (so multilingual), both played Div 1 college basketball, and his mom looks like Claudia Schiffer. I would have beautiful, extremely tall, blond haired, blue eyed grandbabies. The parents in these conversations all said, "Awwwww, they are both so tall and blond and athletic! It's perfect!" (Um, yeah, not if it's your daughter, lol!)

DH's greatest fear is one of them speaks Finn. He swears in Finn around the kids, and we always thought that was a safe option, because honestly, how many people in Texas even know where Finland is?

[mustardseed2007]

DS and his BFF both have sisters, so they decided at one point that DS would mary BFF's sister (age 8) and BFF would marry DS's sister (DD is 3).

We asked DD if she wanted to mary BFF and she said casually said "yeah."

Although I'm not sure DS is really ready for the commitment. He has also decided that he wasn't wearing "fancy clothes" to the wedding and that he was going to be sure they have a big cake. So. He's a catch.

This kid thinks he's grown. LOL

When my brother was 4 years old he had a "girlfriend" who he played with all the time. He said he was going to marry her and actually went to his "gf" dad to ask if he could marry her. It was cute.

[librarychica]

lol. DD1 had a good friend for two years, M. Sweet kid, very funny. His mom taught at their school and got a new job so they don't see one another much anymore but, man, they were the talk of the playground, inseparable, greeted one another with full body hugs and tackles. M told everyone he would marry her. An "older" girl (by a year, lol) told them they could not be boyfriend and girlfriend until they were teenagers and DD1 agreed and said he would just have to be patient, and, maybe they wouldn't want to get married then. My practical kid. Lately she has been telling me that she will not get married and definitely not have kids because "we are a lot of work."

[librarychica]

I will say my BFF married her elementary school boyfriend and is quite happy.

[vavavictoria]

DD has a little boyfriend in her daycare class. He calls her "his V" and they hug ecstatically when they see each other. He came to her birthday party last weekend and apparently had been super excited about the invitation because it had a picture of V on it. He even brought it with him to the party. It was all wrinkled and torn up like he had been carrying it around with him everywhere. Such a sweetheart.

[sandandsea]

One of the moms told me that her daughter told her big sisters that she is going to marry DS. DS has no clue! Also the first day of school one girl ran up, gave him a big hug (all the kids do this at his school) and then a huge kiss on his cheek and said I've missed you so much! They had summer camp together and hadn't seen each other for a week. Dh and I were like whoa! It's started!!
