My Blake likes his first girl and my heart hurts!


Blake asked me some pretty serious questions a couple of weeks ago. He wanted to know how to tell if a girl liked him. Well I told him to just ask her and he said that it would be too painful if she did not like him. OH MY- my heart dropped. I thought about all of the girls he would have a crush on over his lifetime and how many heart breaks he might experience and I was suddenly overwhelmed with sadness and an urgent need to protect my child. I wanted to tell him that he should never like girls until he was in High School or maybe college and that I would hand select a girl that was good enough for him. He deserves the best you know? Mean girls will never do and I will run them off. But then I came to my senses and realized that this is out of my control and I will just have to pray for him to make good decisions and for God to send sweet girls into his life. And if they were not very nice then maybe Blake would be a great influence on them and show them how to be sweet. So - yes i got a little a head of myself in my thoughts and after I calmed down we had a great conversation. I told him some signs that a girl might like him and he was excited and he kept wanting to know more. Well- he came home a few days later and said that she approached him and told him that she had heard that he liked her. I asked him what he said and he looked at me like I was crazy and said- I just said WELL- and walked away. After that day he would not speak to her anymore. He did not get his shyness from me. He came home a couple of days later and said she had signed another boys folder and you could tell he was disappointed. I did not hear anymore about her for a week until this past Friday. He came home and told me that she approached him and said that he was a good singer and asked him if he would tutor her. Well- I did not tell him this but Blake has my tone deafness and he can't sing a lick so that is a HUGE sign that she likes him. :-) He was walking on air. Isn't that age so innocent and sweet! He is my sweet soul.

That is the sweetest thing! This little girl must not be shy AT ALL. I was never that brave. She better be sweet or Auntie Courtney will come have a chit chat with her. :-)

Oh my gosh. That's one reason I'm glad I don't have a boy. I couldn't handle seeing them love another girl other than me!!!
