Joshua's First Love Note!

Tonight, we went to CCS for a talent show/fashion follies/PTF Officer Elections. We started out at Zucca's Restaurant with two other families from the K5 class (the Scott Family and the Cameron Family). When we got there, Colleen (who is in Joshua's class), gave Joshua a piece of paper in which she had drawn the keys of a computer on the inside with an apple on outside. Joshua is totally smitten with Colleen and so I'm sure that he was excited that she make something for him. We all ate dinner together with the adults at one end of the table and the kids at the other end entertaining each other. We then headed to the school for the meeting. First came the officer elections. I had been nominated for the Secretary position) and was a little nervous about whether or not this is something I was ready for due to the time commitment, but God/CCS Parents had faith in my abilities and voted for me...so next year will be a new chapter in my life moving away from MOPS responsibilities into more CCS responsibilities. Then came the talent/variety show portion of the evening. As the CCS kids were performing, Joshua was busy drawing a picture of Colleen and then a picture of himself with their names and a big circle around the stick figures. He then asked for the picture of the computer that Colleen had made for him and asked he how to spell "love'. I had a feeling that I knew where this was going and he proceeded to write "Love Colleen and Joshua" and then put "I" in front of it. He then wanted to give it to Colleen. I tried to talk him out of him b/c I didn't want him to end up being embarrassed or to embarrass Colleen, but he was not going to back down so he passed it up two rows to her and she read it and smiled. Her older sister looked back at me with huge eyes with a shocked look on her face. I thought, "Oh no, this isn't good"...but Colleen acted perfectly fine and Joshua went up to sit with her after that. It is so hard to believe that at this age, he is already distracted by girls!!! Colleen is really sweet and social, and I can see why she is fun to be around, but my baby is too young to be in love!!! Puppy love! Hopefully, he had fun with it and will now move forward and not write any more love notes in the near future, except to his Mommy!!
