"Rachel's my girlfriend!"

"Missed me missed me!  Now ya gotta kiss me!" I heard Brody telling Barrett as he was being chased around the house.  "Where did you hear that?" I asked him.  "From Rachel at school." he responded. 

A week or so ago Mrs. Pam (Brody's teacher) told me that a little girl named Rachel has been cutting in line to stand by Brody and stealing other kids' seats to sit by Brody.  She said Rachel is not a defiant child, so this behavior has shocked the teacher!  Later that day I asked Brody, "Do you play with the boys or the girls more at school."  He said, "The girls."  I asked him what they play and he responded, "Well, when we're outside for recess they all chase me around the playground.  When we have inside recess, we play dress up."  "Dress up!?!?  What do you dress up like?", I asked.  "I'm usually the fireman or the police man and they're the princesses."  Ah.  I see.  He's the ladies man of the class! lol

A few days ago Rachel's mom (one of the pre-k teachers at school) approached me and said that Rachel came home claiming that Brody is her boyfriend!  On our way home from school that day Brody said, "Rachel's my girlfriend."  "What does that mean?", I asked.  "I don't know....she just told me she is." 

The next school day Brody asked me to take my camera to school to take a picture of him and Rachel.  I was happy to oblige!  I highly doubt he'll ask me to do that in a few years!  When I told Mrs. Pam what Brody wanted a picture of, she put them both on the horse that's at the front of the classroom (the one the Sheriff of the Day sits on and holds the flag while the kids say the Pledge of Allegiance).  Too cute!  I am definitely not encouraging the boyfriend/girlfriend thing with Brody...but I think it's great that he's friends with both the boys and the girls in his class!
