Awww, how cute. Don't get on to her too hard. I am sure she is just making friends.

Well toodles, has your daughter got married yet?...LOL. Just saw that someone brought this thread back up, so I reread it. Very cute.

I do hope your daughter is 'focusing' more on school work and not the boys..LOL

I went to my grandaughters school for grandparents day. She is in 2nd grade. I had been told by a little bird that she has a bit of a crush on a boy who sits next to her... so while in the classroom, I saw this little prince charming. I whispered in Paige's ear "OOOOOOHHHH He's cute! No wonder you like school!" She got all red faced and said "Nana! He's going to hear you!" She still manages to do well in school though. lol

I think I would handle this in a different way. I would seriously try to nip it in the bud quick. I have a 10 year old daughter who likes boys and thinks they are cute and I have told her that is fine. She will be 11 in August. I have also told her that it goes NO farther than that beause she is still too little to be thinking about kissing boys. I am a Sub-Teacher at her school and I am shocked by some of the behavior that the younger ones display. Some are so boy crazy that it is really scary.

My daughter use to be friends with a girl who was 2 years younger than she. Well this little girl came over to have a sleepover and all she wanted to do was call her boyfriend and at 10 PM on top of it. UMM HELLO.... I told her that to begin with she was not playing on the phone all night and another thing that she was just too young (7 1/2 at the time) to be messing around with boys. All she could talk about was her what her BF had bought her or that she liked kissing him... Well I made sure that the friendship came to an end. She has only gotten worse and now has some what of a "rep" even at her young age.

The kids are just growing up so fast these days that it is scary. Girls will drive you crazy won't they! I sure know that mine is. Things will work out I am sure. I think just letting her know that little girls don't act certain ways help a lot.

ACTUALLY...she is letting her school work slip a lot...but I am not being told it is because she is boy crazy LOL she SEEMS to have gotten past that...but she is letting other things keep her from doing her work...I'm still trying to figure out what those "other" things are. She is going to be the death of me LOL

I hope she learns to focus on her school work. They can drive you crazy between this and that!

Then, they finally grow up and are okay, and give you grandchildren. Now granchildren are such a blessing, but they're also a new batch of kids to worry over! It does not end EVER!

Love does not come cheap!

Oh Judy I couldn't agree more.
My granddd Paige is so dear to my heart... yet I worry over her as much as I did her mama. Yesterday she'd learned a hard lesson by overfeeding her new baby bunny that was to be her 4-H project this year. As a result, it died. She said she knows she should have listened and has learned her lesson... but my heart just broke for her.

Poor little Paige. It is so hard to watch them when they hurt.

My 6 year old, Brandon, is being tested because he's just not doing
well in his work in school. He is already in kindergarten for the second time. I don't know if he has any learning disabilities, but for 3 of his 6 years, his Mom was in and out of hospitals and in bed. I think he's depressed. I'm glad they're testing him - if there is anything gong on, they'll catch it early. He's just so unhappy in school and doesn't want to go. He thinks he's "different." We're all spoiling him, but ....

My 10 year old, Mackenzie, has a tough time making friends, although she's doing pretty well in her new school. She's the "new girl," and has already made a lot of friends. She has a self esteem problem - I think she also is suffering from the 3 years of my daughter's illness.

My little 5 year old, Kassidy is just fine. She's such a survivor! I always called her my little delight. Of course, she could care less what any of the others have to say.

They will all grow up just fine, God willing. I'll just have a lot more gray hairs. Thank goodness for blond hair dye.
